Abstract
DHA–lysophospholipids are raising considerable interest because they are recognized as being relevant to promote the biological effects of the dietary fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). With a view to meet the growing demand in DHA–lysophospholipids, several research works have investigated their production. DHA–lysophospholipid production can be carried out either by chemical synthesis or enzymatic synthesis using lipases or phospholipases.
While synthesizing DHA–lysophospholipids, a special attention must be paid on the stability of the products. In this frame, caution is needed to prevent DHA oxidation. The reaction conditions also need to be optimized in order to minimize the phenomenon of acyl migration which could lead to random proportions of unwanted products.
At last, analytical methods allowing identification and the quantification of different DHA–lysophospholipid isomers, have to be implemented in order to monitor the production.
Keywords: Acyl migration, docosahexaenoic acid, lipase, lysophospholipid, oxidation, phospholipase.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
