Monoacetyldiglycerides as new Ca2+ mobilizing agents in rat pancreatic acinar cells

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Jan 4;9(1):59-64. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00690-8.

Abstract

Several monoacetyldiglycerides were synthesized from glycerol in search for new Ca2+ mobilizing agent in vitro. All monoacetyldiglycerides except linolenoyl and phenlycyclopropylcarbonyl derivatives showed activity toward Ca2+ release in pancreatic acinar cells. Linoleoyl and docosahexaenoyl derivatives were chosen for further test and exhibited unique activity.
