Popis: Ten acyclic isoprenoid fatty acids were synthesized and tested in vitro as possible regulators of the cholesterol/cholesteryl alkanoate ratio in blood serum lipoproteins. Racemic C20 analogs of (3R/S,7R, 11R)-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecanoic (phytanic) acid proved to be powerful activators of human liver cholesterol esterase (HLCE) in vitro. Achiral (E,E)-5,9,13-trimethyltetradeca-4,8,12-trienoic (farnesylacetic) acid, a low-toxicity antiulcerative substance, also significantly accelerates the HLCE-catalyzed hydrolysis of cholesteryl palmitate.
