Arange of analytical techniques was used to investigate the composition of the steryl fatty acyl esters in a cell suspension
culture of celery (Apium graveolens). Gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), using electron ionization (EI) and negative ion chemical ionization
(NICI), were employed to characterize the intact steryl esters. Assignments were supported by analysis of the sterol and fatty
acid moieties released from the intact molecular species by alkaline hydrolysis. A selectivity for sterol esterification was
noted, with the major free sterol, stigmasterol, occurring only in a very small amount in the esterified form. Instead, the
precursors to Δ5-phytosterols, particularly cycloartenol, predominated in the ester fraction. The pentacyclic triterpene, β-amyrin, was also
found as the palmitate and linoleate esters. Changes in composition and abundance of the steryl esters during the different
growth phases of a celery cell suspension culture were investigated. The total amount of esterified sterols exceeded that
of free sterols throughout the growth cycle. The changes observed during growth highlighted differences between the esters
of precursor sterols and those of the 4-desmethyl-sterols, and it is postulated that the various steryl esters perform different
functions in cell metabolism. 相似文献

Ester waxes and steryl glycosides of the grass Festuca argentina were studied. Saponification of the waxes from the petroleum ether extract led to n-hexacosanol as the major single linear alcohol, along with pentacyclic triterpenols, such as β-amyrin, germanicol, isobaurenol,
lupeol, hopenol-a and hopeol, and low amounts of sterols, such as cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, sitosterol and dihydrositosterol,
identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Fatty acids were identified as methyl esters as C12∶0, C14∶0, C16∶0, C18∶0, C18∶2, and C20∶0. The occurrence of a wide chainlength range of fatty acids and a single linear alcohol closely matched for other reports
on the tribe Festuceae. On the contrary, pentacyclic triterpenols with a variety of skeletons, especially isobauerenol, are
not usual as esters of fatty acids in the Gramineae. Low amounts of steryl glycosides were also obtained from the methylene
chloride percolate of the methanol extract. Upon acetylation followed by hydrolysis, aglycones were identified by capillary
gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and GC/MS. As Δ7-cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, sitosterol, dihydrositosterol, and the sugars as glucose, xylose, and arabinose by
GLC of the respective alditol acetates. This is the first report on the linear, steryl, and triterpenyl esters of F. argentina. It is noteworthy that Δ7-steryl glycosides are rare, and steryl monoarabinosides have not been proviously reported on the family Gramineae. 相似文献

Steryl esters, phytyl esters and triacylglycerols of a naturally occurring freshwater dinoflagellate,Peridinium lomnickii, were identified using capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Steryl esters differing in degree of unsaturation
were separated, prior to analysis, by argentation thin layer chromatography. 5α(H)-Cholestanol was more dominant, relative
to 4α-methylstanols, in steryl esters than in the free sterols, but the same sterol moieties occurred in both fractions. Monoenoic
fatty acids were enriched in the steryl esters relative to the free fatty acids. Major acyl groups in steryl esters were 16∶0
or 20∶1, with smaller amounts of 14∶0 and 18∶1. In triacylglycerols the acyl moieties were 14∶0, 16∶0, 18∶1, 16∶1 and 12∶0,
in order of decreasing abundance. Phytyl esters, previously inferred to occur in a marine dinoflagellate only by analysis
of transesterified products, were identified by GC-MS comparison with authentic compounds. Direct analysis of these esterified
lipids has not been reported for freshwater phytoplankton. The 4α-methylstanyl esters, 5α(H)-cholestan-3β-yl esters and phytyl
esters occurring inP. lomnickii are further features in common with marine dinoflagellates, additional to the 4α-methylsterols reported previously. 相似文献

Lagenidium giganteum, a facultative parasite of mosquito larvae, cannot synthesize sterols, and requires an exogenous source of these lipids in
order to enter its reproductive cycle. This parasite grows vegetatively in the absence of sterols, but requires cholesterol
or structurally related compounds to produce motile zoospores, which are the only stage capable of infecting mosquitoes. Sterols
structurally related to cholesterol and some steryl esters inhibited the activity ofL. giganteum phospholipase A2 (PLA2), an enzyme that hydrolyzes fatty acids from thesn-2 position of glycerophospholipids. Sterols that induce reproduction inhibitedL. giganteum PLA2 activity, while sterols and steroids that do not support sporulation had minimal effect. Most steryl esters had no effect
on enzyme activity, but cholesteryl arachidonate (CA) was a potent inhibitor of parasite PLA2. Not all enzymes partly purified using a DEAE-Sephacel column were affected by these lipids, demonstrating selective inhibition
of specific enzymes. Potency was enhanced by up to several orders of magnitude if epoxy fatty acids were esterified to the
cholesterol nucleus. The steryl ester pool was dynamic during morphogenesis, and the fatty acid composition of the steryl
esters did not mimic total cell or membrane (glycerophospholipid) fatty acid composition asL. giganteum proceeded through its growth cycle. Synthesis of CA and monoepoxy CA by the parasite was confirmed using electrospray mass
spectrometry and collision-induced dissociation. Steryl derivatives selectively inhibited PLA2 enzymes from bovine pancreas, snake venom, and human cytoplasmic 85-kDa PLA2. 相似文献

Analysis of free and esterified sterols in vegetable oils 总被引:2,自引:6,他引:2

In vegetable oils, phytosterols occur as free sterols or as steryl esters. Few analytical methods report the quantification
of esterified and free sterols in vegetable oils. In this study, esterified and free sterols were separated by silica gel
column chromatography upon elution with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (90∶10 vol/vol) followed by n-hexane/diethyl ether/ethanol (25∶25∶50 by vol). Both fractions were saponified separately and the phytosterol content was
quantified by GC. The analytical method for the analysis of esterified and free sterols had a relative standard deviation
of 1.16% and an accuracy of 93.6–94.1%, which was comparable to the reference method for the total sterol analysis. A large
variation in the content and distribution of the sterol fraction between different vegetable oils can be observed. Corn and
rapeseed oils were very rich in phytosterols, which mainly occurred as steryl esters (56–60%), whereas the majority of the
other vegetable oils (soybean, sunflower, palm oil, etc.) contained a much lower esterified sterol content (25–40%). No difference
in the relative proportion of the individual sterols among crude and refined vegetable oils was observed. 相似文献

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) seeds were harvested from the region of Korba (North-East Tunisia) in order to characterize their fatty acids, phytosterols,
tocopherols and tocotrienols (tocols) profiles. Nine fatty acids, with petroselinic acid accounting for 76.6% of the total
fatty acids, followed by linoleic, oleic and palmitic acids, accounting for 13.0, 5.4 and 3.4%, respectively, of the total
fatty acids were identified. Neutral lipids (NLs) were mainly composed of triacylglycerols (98.4%). Polar lipids were mainly
composed of phosphatidylcholine as the major phospholipid (PL) subclass, whereas digalactosyldiacylglycerol was the major
galactolipid (GL). Total sterols content was estimated to be 36.93 mg/g oil. Stigmasterol accounted for 29.5% of the total
sterols. Other representative sterols were β-sitosterol, Δ7-stigmasterol and Δ5, 24-stigmastadienol, which accounted for 24.8, 16.3 and 9.2%, respectively. Gamma-tocotrienol was the predominant tocol at
238.40 μg/g seed oil. This was equivalent to 72.8% of the total tocols followed by γ-tocopherol (8.06%) and α-tocopherol (7.6%). 相似文献

To investigate the metabolism and possible deleterious effects of 4-methyl and 4,4-dimethyl steroids inManduca sexta, the 4,4-dimethyl sterols lanosterol and cycloartenol, the 4-methyl sterol obtusifoliol and the 4,4-dimethyl pentacyclic
triterpenoid α-amyrin were fed in an artificial agar-based diet at various concentrations. Utilization and metabolism of these
four compounds were compared with sitosterol, stigmasterol, brassicasterol, ergosterol and 24-methylenecholesterol, 24-alkyl
sterols that are readily dealkylated and converted to cholesterol inManduca and in most phytophagous insects. None of the 4-methylated compounds significantly inhibited development except at very high
dietary concentrations. The Δ24-bonds of lanosterol and cycloartenol were effectively reduced by theManduca Δ24-sterol reductase enzyme, as is the Δ24-bond of desmosterol which, in most phytophagous insects, is an intermediate in the conversion of sitosterol, stigmasterol
and other C28 and C29 phytosterols to cholesterol. On the other hand, the 24-methylene substituent of obtusifoliol was not dealkylated. Each of
the 4-desmethyl C28 and C29 sterols was readily converted to cholesterol, and a significant amount of 7-dehydro-cholesterol was derived from ergosterol
metabolism. The reason for the differences in substrate specificity of these sterols is not clear, but the information may
be useful in the development of new, specific, mechanism-based inhibitors of sterol metabolism. 相似文献

A number of free sterols and sterol esters of three freshwater mussels was separated and identified. A slow rate of biosynthesisde novo of sterols was demonstrated inAnodonta cygnea. Injected cholesterol was found to undergo esterification, oxidation, Δ22-dehydrogenation and C-24 alkylation. Methyl-[14C]methionine was proved to be incorporated in C-24 alkylsterols. Abnormally large amounts of cholesterol injected inA. cygnea were metabolized toward restoration of the normal composition of sterols. This was achieved by intensified metabolism of
cholesterol, mainly by conjugation, oxidation and Δ22-dehydrogenation. 相似文献

A method for separating and quantitating seed oil steryl esters and free sterols was developed using a combination of preparative
column, thin layer (TLC), and gas liquid chromatography (GLC). Cholesteryl heneicosanoate and cholesterol served as internal
standards. The method was applied to corn-oil samples (Mazola, Kroger) obtained from the local market and peanut-oil samples
prepared in the laboratory from commercial varieties of peanuts (Florunner, Starr). Concentration (mg/100 g oil; mean ± SD)
of steryl esters and free sterols in the 4 oils were: Mazola, 1420±40 and 370±8; Kroger, 950±40 and 320±4; Florunner, 74±0.5
and 150±3; and Starr, 51±0.5 and 130±2. Sitosterol was the major sterol in both the free sterol and steryl ester fractions
of all oils and together with campesterol, stigmasterol and Δ5-avenasterol made up 90–95% of all sterols. Steryl esters of peanut oil contained higher proportions of linoleic acid and
long-chain acids (C20–C24) than did whole oil. Corn-oil steryl esters also contained a higher proportion of linoleic acid than did whole oil. Squalene
was the major hydrocarbon of all oils with the remaining hydrocarbon fraction consisting of a mixture of compounds.

The ciliate,Tetrahymena, was provided a supplement of the fatty acid [1-14C] 18∶2Δ6,9. After a period of growth the cells were claimed, the lipids extracted, the polar lipids recovered and the mild
alkali-labile fatty acid methyl esters generated. The fatty acids were resolved by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC),
the 18∶3Δ6,9,12 (γ-linolenic acid) was recovered and its identity verified by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC),
gas liquid chromatography (GLC), hydrogenation and oxidation. Fifty-three percent of the cell-associated label was found in
γ-linolenic acid; thus, a Δ12 fatty acid desaturase converts the 6,9 octadecadienoic acid to the 6,9,12 derivative. No carboxyl
or methyl terminus restriction appears on Δ9 monoenoic or dienoic fatty acid desaturation in this cell as is found in higher
plants and animals. 相似文献

The low temperature crystallization technique for the enrichment of “minor” components, such as sterols and sterol esters,
from vegetable oils was applied to low erucic acid rapeseed oils. The recovery of free sterols and sterol esters was estimated
by use of14C-cholesterol and14C-cholesterol oleate. 80% of the free sterols and 45% of the sterol esters were recovered in the liquid fraction, while in
two studies total recoveries were 95% and 99%, respectively. This technique showed some selectivity toward the sterol bound
fatty acids when compared to direct preparative thin layer chromatography (TLC) of the crude oil. Gas liquid chromatography
(GLC) analysis of the free and esterified sterols as TMS-derivatives showed very little selectivity in the enrichment procedure.
The fatty acid patterns of the sterol esters demonstrated, however, a preference in the liquid fraction for those sterol esters
which have a high linoleic and linolenic acid content. The content of free sterols was 0.3–0.4% and that of sterol esters
0.7–1.2% of the rapeseed oils in both winter and summer types of low erucic acid rapeseed (Brassica napus) when the lipid classes were isolated by direct preparative TLC of the oils. The free sterols in the seven cultivars or breeding
lines analyzed were composed of 44–55% sitosterol, 27–36% campesterol, 17–21% brassicasterol, and a trace of cholesterol.
The esterified sterols were 47–57% sitosterol, 36–44% campesterol, 6–9% brassicasterol, and traces of cholesterol and Δ5-avenasterol.
The fatty acid patterns of these esters were characterized by ca. 30% oleic acid and ca. 50% linoleic acid, whereas these
acids constitute 60% and 20%, respectively, of the total fatty acids in the oil. Little or no variation in sterol and sterol
ester patterns with locality within Sweden was observed for the one cultivar of summer rapeseed investigated by the low temperature
crystallization technique. 相似文献

Tocopherols are purified industrially from soybean oil deodorizer distillate by a process comprising distillation and ethanol
fractionation. The waste material after ethanol fractionation (TC waste) contains 75% sterols, but a purification process
has not yet been developed. We thus attempted to purify sterols by a process including a lipase-catalyzed reaction. Candida rugosa lipase efficiently esterified sterols in TC waste with oleic acid (OA). After studying several factors affecting esterification,
the reaction conditions were determined as follows: ratio of TC waste/OA, 1∶2 (wt/wt); water content, 30%; amount of lipase,
120 U/g-reaction mixture; temperature, 40°C. Under these conditions, the degree of esterification reached 82.7% after 24 h.
FA steryl esters (steryl esters) in the oil layer were purified successfully by short-path distillation (purity, 94.9%; recovery,
73.1%). When sterols in TC waste were esterified with FFA originating from olive, soybean, rapeseed, safflower, sunflower,
and linseed oils, the FA compositions of the steryl esters differed somewhat from those of the original oils: The content
of saturated FA was lower and that of unsaturated FA was higher. The m.p. of the steryl esters synthesized (21.7–36.5°C) were
remarkably low compared with those of the steryl esters purified from high-b.p. soybean oil deodorizer distillate substances
(56.5°C; JAOCS 80, 341–346, 2003). The low-m.p. steryl esters were soluble in rapeseed oil even at a final concentration of 10%. 相似文献

WhenChlorella emersonii, a green alga, was cultured in the presence of 20 ppm AY-9944, a number of sterols accumulated which appear to be intermediates
of sterol biosynthesis in this organism. The sterols isolated include 14α-methyl-ergost-8-en-3β-ol, 14α-methyl 24S-stigmast-8-en-3β-ol,
14α-methyl ergosta-8,24(28)-dien-3β-ol and 4α, 14α-dimethyl 24S-stigmast-8-en-3β-ol. Smaller quantities of several other sterols
were found in addition to the normally occurring Δ7, chondrillasterol and Δ7. Control cultures were found to contain, in addition to the normally occurring sterols, smaller quantities of most of the
sterols isolated from AY-9944 inhibited cultures. AY-9944 is a specific inhibitor of Δ7 in cholesterol biosynthesis in animals. However, sinceC. emersonii terminates sterol biosynthesis one step prior to the Δ7 step, AY-9944 apparently inhibits sterol biosynthesis prior to this step in this organism. The accumulation of 14α-methyl
sterols in treated cultures suggests that AY-9944 is an effective inhibitor of the 14α-methyl removal inC. emersonii.

The bulk of the plasma plant sterol in phytosterolemia occurs in the esterified form and is carried mostly in the low and
high density lipoproteins. We have determined the fatty acid composition of the individual plasma steryl esters from a newly
discovered subject with phytosterolemia and xanthomatosis. For this purpose the intact steryl esters were subject to high
temperature gas liquid chromatography (GLC) on a polar capillary column, which separated the major esters on the basis of
molecular weight and degree of unsaturation of the fatty acids. The saturated and unsaturated sterols esterified to saturated,
monoenoic, dienoic and tetraenoic fatty acids were identified by GLC analysis of the sterol moieties of the corresponding
AgNO3-TLC fractions of the steryl esters. The GLC results were confirmed by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography
combined with mass spectrometry via direct liquid inlet interface. It was found that, in general, each fatty acid was esterified
to the same complement of sterols, and that the esterified sterols possessed a composition comparable to that of the free
plasma sterols, which was comprised of about 75% cholesterol, 6% campesterol, 4% 22,23-dihydrobrassicasterol and 15% β-sitosterol.
The fatty acid composition of the steryl esters differed from that of the 2-position of the plasma phosphatidylcholines, which
contained significantly less palmitic and oleic and more linoleic acid. On the basis of these results and a review of the
literature it is suggested that the plasma cholesteryl and plant steryl esters in phytosterolemia originate from both synthesis
in plasma via the lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase and synthesis in tissues via the acylCoA-cholesterol acyltransferase. 相似文献

Sterol lipids of cocoa butter (cocoa beansLome Tongo) were fractionated into free sterols, steryl esters (SE), steryl glucosides and acylated steryl glucosides (ASG). 4-Desmethyl,
4-methyl and 4,4′-dimethyl sterols or triterpene alcohols, which were isolated as free sterols or which resulted from hydrolysis,
were determined by thin layer chromatography-flame ionization detection and identified by gas chromatography and combined
gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Free sterols comprise the main sterol fraction in cocoa butter. Esterified sterols amount
to 11.5% of total sterols and glucosidic sterols to 16.3%. Fatty acids and D-glucose from hydrolysis of esters and glucosides
were analyzed. The fatty acids of SE and ASG are richer in unsaturated fatty acids than cocoa butter total fatty acids. 相似文献

Four groups of rats were fed diets containing 15% (w/w) high-oleic safflower oil (SFO, rich incis-18∶1 acids), a mixture of 80% partially hydrogenated soybean oil plus 20% corn oil (H+CO, rich intrans-18∶1 acids), lard (L, rich in saturated fatty acids) and corn oil (Co, rich in 18∶2ω6). Fatty acid composition of liver microsomes
and activities of the Δ5, Δ6 and Δ9 desaturases were determined. Microsomal Δ6 desaturase activity and arachidonic acid were lower in the H+CO group compared with SFO of L. No difference was found in
the Δ5 or Δ6 desaturase activity of CO and SFO groups. Thus, the oleic-acid level of the SFO diet had no effect on the metabolism of 18∶2ω6.
Fluorescent polarization studies, usingtrans-parinaric acid as a probe, showed no differences between the physical states of phospholipid vesicles made from lipids isolated
from each group. We concluded that thetrans-18∶1 acids in partially hydrogenated soybean oil have a more inhibitory effect than saturated acids on EFA metabolism, even
in the presence of adequate amounts of essential fatty acid. 相似文献

The phospholipid fatty acid composition of the Calcarean spongeLeucosolenia canariensis was studied, and no Δ5,9 fatty acids were detected. These results are in contrast to the phospholipids from sponges belonging to the class Demospongiae
where Δ5,9 fatty acids are predominant. Odd branched-chain fatty acids between 17 and 19 carbons accounted for 26% of the
total fatty acids ofL. canariensis, while straight-chain fatty acids between 16 and 22 carbons accounted for 61% of the total fatty acid composition. The sterol
composition ofL. canariensis is also reported, and only Δ5,7,22 sterols were observed. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of the monounsaturated long chain fatty acids ofMycobacterium tuberculosis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The positions of double bond in the monounsaturated C15−C32 fatty acids ofMycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra were established by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of the ozonized esters and their pyrrolidide derivatives.
The monounsaturated C15−C21 fatty acids had the double bond primarily at the Δ9 position while the monounsaturated longer chain fatty acids (C22−C32) had the double bond in several positions. Many of the latter acids, especially the odd-numbered series, were very complex
isomeric mixtures. Quantitation showed the most abundant even-numbered long chain fatty acid isomers to be as follow: C22, Δ4; C24, Δ5; C26, Δ7 and Δ9; C28, Δ9; C30, Δ11 and Δ13; C32, Δ13 and Δ15. 相似文献

The influence of the refining process on the distribution of free and esterified phytosterols in corn, palm, and soybean oil
was studied. Water degumming did not affect the phytosterol content or its composition. A slight increase in the content of
free sterols was observed during acid degumming and bleaching due to acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of steryl esters. A significant
reduction in the content of total sterols during neutralization was observed, which was attributed to a reduction in the free
sterol fraction. Free sterols probably form micelles with soaps and are transferred into the soapstock. The steryl ester content
remained constant during all neutralization experiments, indicating that hydrolysis of steryl esters did not take place during
neutralization. During deodorization, free sterols are distilled from the oil, resulting in a gradual reduction in the total
sterol content as a function of the deodorization temperature (220–260°C). A considerable increase in the steryl ester fraction
was found during physical refining, probably owing to a heat-promoted esterification reaction between free sterols and FA. 相似文献

Neurospora crassa incorporated exogenous deuterated palmitate (16∶0) and 14C-labeled oleate (18∶1Δ9) into cell lipids. Of the exogenous 18∶1Δ9 incorporated, 59% was desaturated to 18∶2Δ9,12 and 18∶3Δ9,12,15. Of the exogenous 16∶0 incorporated, 20% was elongated to 18∶0, while 37% was elongated and desaturated into 18∶1Δ9, 18∶2Δ9,12, and 18∶3Δ9,12,15. The mass of unsaturated fatty acids in phospholipid and triacylglycerol is 12 times greater than the mass of 18∶0. Deuterium
label incorporation in unsaturated fatty acids is only twofold greater than in 18∶0, indicating a sixfold preferential use
of 16∶0 for saturated fatty acid synthesis. These results indicate that the release of 16∶0 from fatty acid synthase is a
key control point that influences fatty acid composition in Neurospora. 相似文献
