Disease relevance of lauric acid glyceryl ester

 

High impact information on lauric acid glyceryl ester

  • The fully saturated analogue 1-monoarachidin did not inhibit the enzyme, whereas the lower side chain analogues 1-monopalmitin and 1-monomyristin inhibited the enzyme with IC50 values of 12 and 32 microM, respectively [5].
  • With GMDD only, a trend of increasing bioavailability with increasing monoglyceride concentration was observed, which may be explained by its limited aqueous solubility [6].
  • Because of their longstanding safety record, origanum and/or monolaurin, alone or combined with antibiotics, might prove useful in the prevention and treatment of severe bacterial infections, especially those that are difficult to treat and/or are antibiotic resistant [3].
  • In addition, various combinations of nisin, lysozyme, and monolaurin with EDTA were bactericidal to some gram-negative bacteria whereas none of the antimicrobials alone were bactericidal [4].
  • The lactoperoxidase system (LPS) and monolaurin (ML) are potential natural antimicrobial agents for use in foods [7].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of lauric acid glyceryl ester

  • None of the lipids showed significant antibacterial activity against Salmonella spp. and E. coli but eight of 12 lipids tested showed high activity against H. pylori, monocaprin and monolaurin being the most active [8].
 

Anatomical context of lauric acid glyceryl ester

 

Associations of lauric acid glyceryl ester with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of lauric acid glyceryl ester

  • Brine shrimp lethality-directed fractionation of the 95% EtOH extract of the powdered, dried berries of Serenoa repens (Bart.) Small (saw-palmetto) (Palmae) led to the isolation of two monoacylglycerides, 1-monolaurin (1) and 1-monomyristin (2) [11].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of lauric acid glyceryl ester

  • Results were analysed using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and indicated that nisin and monolaurin had no action on spores before germination; only pH values had a significant effect (P < or = 0.001), i.e. spore count decreased as the pH value increased in relation to germination [12].
