Digalactosyl and monogalactocyl diacylglycerols (DGDG and MGDG), which were identified as anti-hyperlipemia active components in Colocasia esculenta (Taro), were synthesized. The inhibitory activity of DGDG, MGDG and related compounds on human lanosterol synthase was evaluated as anti-hyperlipemic activity. DGDG with two myristoyl groups at both sn-1 and sn-2 positions and with an oleoyl group at the sn-1 position showed the most potent activity.
已合成了二半乳糖基二酰基甘油和单半乳糖基二酰基甘油(DGDG和MGDG),它们被鉴定为芋头中的抗高血脂活性成分。评估了DGDG、MGDG及相关化合物对人羊毛甾醇合酶的抑制活性作为抗高血脂活性。在sn-1和sn-2位均带有两个肉豆蔻酰基且在sn-1位带有一个油酰基的DGDG显示出最强的活性。
