Glycoglycerolipid analogues lacking the glycerol backbone were prepared through a lipase catalyzed transesterification of β-D-galactosylethylene glycol. The inhibitory effect of the resultant isomeric hexanoates at the primary alcoholic positions, β-D-galactosylethylene glycol itself and nonyl β-D-galactopyranoside, was tested on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation in Raji cells promoted by the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), as a primary screening test for inhibitors of tumor promotion. All the compounds assayed were found to be less active than the reference 2-O-β-D-galactopyranosylglycerol derivatives, of which they are simplified models, indicating that the anti-tumor-promoting activity is very closely related to the presence of a free hydroxymethylene group on the glycerol-like aglycone moiety.

A series of alkyl β-d-galactopyranosides were prepared by the trichloroacetimidate method with d-galactose and alcohols with different chain lengths as raw materials. Their solubility, surface tension, emulsification, foaming, wettability, thermotropic liquid crystalline properties, and thermal stability were investigated. Alkyl β-d-galactopyranosides are soluble in water and ethanol, and the solubility decreases with increasing alkyl chain length. Decyl β-d-galactopyranoside was insoluble in water, but soluble in ethanol. Dissolution of alkyl β-d-galactopyranoside in water is an endothermic process with dissolution enthalpies greater than zero. Nonyl β-d-galactopyranoside had an excellent emulsifying?property, better foaming ability and the best foam stability. The CMC values of alkyl β-d-galactopyranosides decrease with increasing of alkyl chain length. Alkyl β-d-galactopyranosides are thermally stable up to 270?°C. Alkyl β-d-galactopyranosides show the distinctive optical texture of a thermotropic liquid crystal smectic A type phase. Decyl β-d-galactopyranoside showed the strongest wettability.
Significantly Improved Equilibrium Yield of Long-Chain Alkyl Glucosides via Reverse Hydrolysis in a Water-Poor System Using Cross-Linked Almond Meal as a Cheap and Robust Biocatalyst

An array of ten β-D-glucopyranosides with varied alkyl chain lengths were enzymatically synthesized. It was found that for longer alkyl chains a lower initial rate and final yield of glucoside was obtained except for methyl glucoside because of the severe toxicity of methanol to the enzyme. From a thermodynamics point of view, the equilibrium constant and Gibbs free energy variation of the glucoside syntheses were systematically investigated. To improve the final yields of the glucosides containing long alkyl chains the equilibrium of the enzymatic glucoside synthesis was altered. The equilibrium yield of decyl β-D-glucoside increased from 1.9% to 6.1% when the water content was reduced from 10% to 5% (v/v) using tert-butanol as a cosolvent and 0.10 mol/L of glucose as a substrate. As for the other longer alkyl chain glucosides, heptyl β-D-glucoside was found to have significant surface activity as well.
