title: Biologically active lipids. Semi-synthesis of 3H-labeled ether glycerophospholipids and ether glyceroglycolipids from ratfish liver oil.
abstract: 1-O-Alkyl-2,3-diacyl-sn-glycerols, the major constituents of ratfish (Chimaera monstrosa) liver oil, serve as starting material for the preparation of 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines, 1-O-alkyl-2-O-methyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines, and 1-O-alkyl-2-O-methyl-sn-glycero-3-beta-D-glucopyranosides. Catalytic tritiation of the unsaturated alkyl moieties in these biologically active ether lipids affords the corresponding 3H-labeled substances.
