Definitions
- the invention relates to esters of unsaturated fatty acids. Glvcerides
- fatty acids play many important roles as components of membrane structure, as factors in cell signalling systems and as regulators of gene function.
- the fatty acids are usually taken in the diet in the form of triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol esters.
- the triglycerides are particularly important vehicles for fatty acids.
- During the process of digestion the fatty acids at the 1 and 3 positions of the triglyceride are split off by pancreatic lipase, leaving a monoacylglycerol with the fatty acid in the 2 position.
- This monoacylglycerol may be reconverted by acylation to a diglyceride or triglyceride. or the fatty acid may migrate spontaneously to the 1 or 3 positions. Such migration may possibly be enzyme assisted but may also occur non-enzymically since it can occur in vitro in the absence of enzymes.
- the 2-monoacylglycerides are important vehicles for the absorption of fatty acids in the small intestine and may be particularly important vehicles for transferring fatty acids into lymphatics which can then take their contents to the blood stream while by-passing the liver.
- the 2-monoacylglycerides may also have specific biological activities of their own in membranes and in cell signalling systems although as yet these activities are ill-defined.
- Glycerol has hydroxyl groups in conventionally numbered 1, 2 and 3 positions to which fatty acids may become attached. If the 2-position is occupied by a fatty acid, that fatty acid may migrate to the 1 or 3 positions, thus changing the properties of the monoester, or other fatty acids may be added to the 1 and 3 positions.
- 2-propanol is related in structure to glycerol, but has no hydroxyl groups at the 1 and 3 positions.
- the isopropyl esters of fatty acids are therefore analogous to the monoglycerides with the fatty acid in the two position. However such isopropyl esters cannot be converted to di and tri-glycerides, nor can their structure be changed by internal migration of the fatty acid to the 1 or 3 positions.
- the isopropyl esters therefore provide novel vehicles for the carriage of fatty acids in biological systems and in particular for their unchanged absorption via the lymphatic system.
- the isopropyl esters may be used as delivery systems whereby unsaturated fatty acids may be effectively delivered to the body, particularly by oral and topical but also by other routes.
- the fatty acids delivered topically in this way are particularly effectively transported across the skin.
- the invention provides the isopropyl esters of fatty acids with 16-26 carbon atoms and two to six double bonds in either the cis or the trans configuration, as such and when for use for example in food, cosmetic and therapeutic applications, all as claimed herein.
- fatty acids include all cis linoleic acid, conjugated linoleic acid, columbinic acid, parinaric acid and all the essential fatty acids of the n-3 and n-6 series, as shown in Table 1. TABLE 1 n-6 EFAs n-3 EFAs
- LA Linoleic acid
- ALA Linolenic acid
- GLA ⁇ -Linolenic acid
- SA Stearidonic acid
- DHA Docosahexaenoic acid
- the acids which in nature are of the all - cis configuration, are systematically named as derivatives of the corresponding octadecanoic, eicosanoic or docosanoic acids, e.g. z,z octadeca - 9,12 - dienoic acid or z,z,z,z,z,z docosa- 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 - hexaenoic acid, but numerical designations based on the number of carbon atoms, the number of centres of unsaturation and the number of carbon atoms from the end of the chain to where the unsaturation begins, such as, correspondingly, 18:2n-6 or 22:6n-3 are convenient.
- Initials e.g., EPA and shortened forms of the name e.g. eicosapentaenoic acid are used as trivial names in some of the cases.
- esters may be used for a variety of purposes, but particularly as pharmaceuticals, as foods, as nutritional supplements, as food additives and as agents to be used in all forms of skin and hair care.
- they When administered to humans or animals, they may be given in doses of from lmg to lOOg per day, preferably lOmg to 30g per day and very preferably lOOmg to 5g per day.
- skin care agents or other vehicles When incorporated into foods, skin care agents or other vehicles they may be used in concentrations from 0.01 to 50%) preferably 0.5 to 20%, by weight.
- They may be formulated in capsules, tablets, emulsions, liquids, creams, ointments, skin patches, pessaries, suppositories or any other vehicle for oral, topical, enteral or parenteral administration known to those skilled in the art.
