Abstract：
:The 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerols (1,2-DGs) are the predominant naturally occurring isomer found in cell membranes, lipid droplets, and lipoproteins. They are involved in the metabolism of monoacylglycerols, triacylglycerols, and phospholipids. The 1,2-DGs participate in the activation of protein kinase C, in phosphorylation of target proteins, and in transduction of extracellular signals into the cell. We have undertaken a study of the physical properties of a homologous series of synthetic optically active diacylglycerols. Stereospecific 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerols were synthesized with saturated fatty acyl chains of 12, 16, 18, 22, and 24 carbons in length. Their polymorphic behavior was examined by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray powder diffraction. The solvent-crystallized form for all the 1,2-DGs packs in the orthorhombic perpendicular subcell (beta') and melts with a single sharp endotherm to an isotropic liquid. On quenching, the C12, C16 and C18 compounds pack in a hexagonal subcell (alpha), whereas the C22 and C24 pack in a pseudohexagonal subcell (sub-alpha). The sub-alpha phase reversibly converts to the alpha phase. The long spacings of these compounds in both the alpha and beta' phases increase with chain length. In the alpha and beta' phases, the acyl chain tilts were found to be 90 degrees and 62 degrees from the basal methyl plane. The polymorphic behavior of 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol is quite different from that of the corresponding monoacid saturated 1,3-diacylglycerols which form two beta phases with triclinic parallel subcells.
