Nonclassical Odd–even Alternation in Mixed-Chain Diacylethanolamines: Implications of Polymorphism

Abstract: N,O-Diacylethanolamines (DAEs), derived by the O-acylation of bioactive N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), are most likely present in biological membranes. In the present study, a homologous series of mixed chain DAEs with an N-palmitoyl chain and varying O-acyl chains (n = 6–16) have been synthesized and characterized. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies revealed a nonclassical type of odd–even alternation in the enthalpy and entropy of melting, with the odd–even effect becoming more prominent with incre… Show more

“…However, this type of odd-even alteration was observed earlier with phosphatidylcholines bearing -tertiary-butyl fatty acyl chains and phosphatidylcholines containing dl-methyl anteisobranched fatty acyl chains in the hydrated state [34,35]. The enthalpy and entropy data for NAAs of even and odd acyl chain lengths could be fit well to expressions (2) and (3) [29] given below as observed previously with N-acylethanolamines, Nacyldopamines, and N-acylserotonins with even and odd acyl chain lengths, O-acylcholines with even chain lengths as well as N-,Odiacylethanolamines with matched as well as mixed acyl chains [31][32][33][36][37][38][39].…”

“…The odd-even alternation seen in the transition enthalpies, transition entropies and transition temperatures of NASTs is similar to the alternation observed previously in the thermodynamic properties of a number of other amphiphilic molecules such as long-chain hydrocarbons, fatty acids, N-acylethanolamines, N-, O-diacylethanolamines with matched as well as mixed chains, and N-acyldopamines in the solid state [26,[30][31][32][33][34]. This could be explained on the basis of differences in the packing of hydrocarbon chains.…”

“…In all cases, the PXS is above 0.965. For the third pair, DAWFUE-DAWFUE01, 76 the PXS is close to the limit usually chosen for differentiating structures (0.972). Simulated PXRDs for the pairs are plotted in Fig.…”
