Abstract
The naturally occurring 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerols and their methoxylated congeners, 1-O-(2'-methoxyalkyl)-sn-glycerols, are biologically active compounds, ubiquitously found in nature as diacyl glyceryl ether lipids and phosphoether lipids. The chief objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive and up to date review on such ether lipids. The occurrence and distribution of these compounds in nature are extensively reviewed, their chemical structure and molecular variety, their biosynthesis and chemical synthesis and, finally, their various biological effects are described and discussed. An unprecedented biosynthesis of the 2'-methoxylated alkylglycerols is proposed. The first synthesis of enantiopure (Z)-(2'R)-1-O-(2'-methoxyhexadec-4'-enyl)-sn-glycerol, the most prevalent 2'-methoxylated type alkylglycerol present in cartilaginous fish, is described. It was accomplished by a highly convergent five step process.

Abstract
A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with on-line electrospray ionization/collision-induced dissociation/mass spectrometry (ESI/CID/MS) is presented for the regiospecific analysis of synthetic reference compounds of neutral ether lipids. The reference compounds were characterized by chromatographic retention times, full mass spectra, and fragmentation patterns as an aid to clarify the regiospecificity of ether lipids from natural sources. The results clearly show that single quadrupole mass spectroscopic analysis may elucidate the regiospecific structure of neutral ether lipids. Ether lipid reference compounds were characterized by five to six major ions in the positive ion mode. The 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerols were analyzed as the diacetoyl derivative, and showed the [M - acetoyl](+) ion as an important diagnostic ion. The diagnostic ions of directly analyzed 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycerols and 1-O-alkyl-3-acyl-sn-glycerols were the [M - alkyl](+), [M + H - H(2)O](+) and [M + H](+) ions. Regiospecific characterization of the fatty acid position was evident from the relative ion intensities, as the sn-2 species had relatively high [M + H](+) ion intensities compared with [M + H - H(2)O](+), whereas the reverse situation characterized the sn-3 species. Furthermore, corresponding sn-2 and sn-3 species were separated by the chromatographic system. However, loss of water was promoted as fatty acid unsaturation was raised, which may complicate interpretation of the mass spectra. The diagnostic ions of directly analyzed 1-O-alkyl-2,3-diacyl-sn-glycerols were the [M - alkyl](+), [M - sn-2-acyl](+) and [M - sn-3-acyl](+) ions. Regiospecific characterization of the fatty acid identity and position was evident from the relative ion intensities, as fragmentation of the sn-2 fatty acids was preferred to the sn-3 fatty acids; however, loss of fatty acids was also promoted by higher degrees of unsaturation. Therefore, both structural and positional effects of the fatty acids affect the spectra of the neutral ether lipids. Fragmentation patterns and optimal capillary exit voltages are suggested for each neutral ether lipid class. The present study demonstrates that reversed-phase HPLC and positive ion ESI/CID/MS provide direct and unambiguous information about the configuration and identity of molecular species in neutral 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol classes.

Abstract
The stereoselectivity of porcine pancreas lipase (PPL) was investigated during the enzymatic hydrolysis of triolein and its partial glycerides in the presence of supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) as reaction medium. The water content of the immobilized lipases was varied. The partial glycerides were separated into mono- and diglycerides by TLC, converted to their 3,5-dinitrophenylurethane derivatives and subsequently resolved into sn-1,2 and sn-2,3 enantiomers (estimation of dioleins) or into sn-1 and sn-3 enantiomers (estimation of monooleins) by HPLC on a chiral stationary phase (Sumichiral OA-4100). In all reactions under the conditions employed, PPL revealed a distinct preference for the sn-3 position of the glycerol. However, the stereoselectivity depends on the reaction time, the substances initially used and the enzyme water content. It seems that the effect of the enzyme water content on the activity and selectivity of porcine pancreas lipase in SCCO2 is based on a modification of the "micro-environment' of the enzyme by the solution of CO2 in water, causing a decrease of the pH value.

Abstract
Lipid extracts of natural sources contain a large number of lipid classes and molecular species. Completely reproducible samples are obtained only with great care and skill. Analytical methods other than chromatography and/or mass spectrometry are of little use for resolution and identification of lipid molecules even in simple mixtures. The analytical information desired governs the selection of the chromatographic and mass spectrometric method, which determine the sample preparation and derivative needed. Usually a combination of chromatographic methods is necessary to identify specific species of lipids. The recent development of soft ionization techniques, that are readily interfaced with mass spectrometers, have greatly simplified the sample preparation and have largely eliminated the need for derivatization. Because these techniques require expensive equipment and dedicated operators, the methods selected must be consistent with the true analytical needs and the available resources. Although personal preference cannot be eliminated entirely, the general strategies outlined below should help to reduce the number of possibilities facing a lipid analyst to a few practical choices.

Abstract
This article discusses the methods most commonly employed in the analysis of the triacylglycerols (TAGs) in natural fats and considers the main advantages and disadvantages of each and the techniques for optimising analytical conditions. Complete analysis of the composition of a natural fat calls for a method of extracting and purifying the triglyceride fraction, normally by preparatory thin-layer and column chromatography. Determination of the individual components of triglyceride mixtures still entails certain difficulties, namely, the separation and identification of the TAGs in natural fats. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) offers significant advantages over gas and thin-layer chromatography. Many workers have developed non-aqueous, reversed-phase HPLC systems capable of successfully resolving complex mixtures of TAGs, and combining reversed-phase (RP) HPLC and argentation chromatography may improve the results. Identification of the TAGs separated by HPLC becomes an extremely complex task if many different fatty acids are involved and if the sn-stereoscopic positions on the glycerol are to be determined. Enzymatic analysis and chiral-phase chromatography are capable of localising fatty acids on the TAG molecule. In closing, some of the most interesting biomedical applications of TAG analysis are summarised.

Abstract
Stereoselectivity of several triacylglycerol lipases (EC 3.1.1.3) has been investigated in the enzymatic esterification of rac-1-O-octadecylglycerol with oleic acid in the presence of organic solvents, such as hexane. X-1(3)-O-Octadecylmonooleoylglycerols were the only products formed with most lipases; considerable proportions of X-1(3)-O-octadecyldioleoylglycerols were also formed with the lipase from Candida cylindracea. The mixtures of unesterified enantiomeric substrates, i.e., X-1(3)-O-octadecylglycerols were converted to their 3,5-dinitrophenylurethane derivatives and subsequently resolved into sn-1 and sn-3 enantiomers by HPLC on a chiral stationary phase (Sumichiral OA 2100). The data on enantiomeric excess (ee) and enantiomeric ratio (E) in the unesterified substrate revealed for the lipases from porcine pancreas, Rhizopus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Candida cylindracea, Chromobacterium viscosum and Penicillium cyclopium a distinct preference for 1-O-octadecyl-sn-glycerol over its enantiomer indicating stereoselectivity for the sn-3 position. For the lipase from Rhizomucor miehei a slight stereoselectivity for the sn-1 position was observed. Solvents, such as diethyl ether and dichloromethane, strongly inhibited the esterification reaction, but the enzymatic activity could be restored upon removal of such solvents by washing with hexane indicating reversible inhibition.

Abstract
Rapid and practical separations of 1,2- and 2,3-diacyl- and dialkyl-sn-glycerol enantiomers as their 3,5-dinitrophenyl-urethane derivatives were carried out by normal-phase high performance liquid chromatography on a chiral stationary phase, N-(R)-1-(alpha-naphthyl)ethylaminocarbonyl-(S)-valine chemically bonded to gamma-aminopropyl silanized silica. Complete separations of the racemates into enantiomers were achieved for both of the diacyl- and dialkylglycerols within 10 min using a stainless steel column (25 cm long) packed with the 5-mu particles, an isocratic elution with a mixture of hexane/ethylene dichloride/ethanol as a mobile phase and a UV detector. The sn-1,2-enantiomers were eluted ahead of the corresponding sn-2,3-enantiomers. Satisfactory separation of the sn-1,3-diacylglycerols from the corresponding enantiomers and the separation of the homologues differing in acyl and alkyl groups were also observed. The formations of hydrogen bonding and charge transfer complex between the urethane derivatives and the stationary phase may contribute to the enantiomer separations.
