Synthesis of Dilinoleoyl-D-Glyceric Acid and Evaluation of Its Cytotoxicity to Human Dermal Fibroblast and Endothelial Cells

抄録

A novel derivative of glyceric acid (GA), dilinoleoyl-D-glyceric acid (LA₂-DGA), was synthesized from D-GA calcium salt and linoleoyl chloride and evaluated for cytotoxicity. The D-GA calcium salt was first reacted with 4-methoxybezylchloride, and the resulting compound was esterified with linoleoyl chloride. This reaction was followed by hydrolysis of the 4-methoxybenzyl moiety, yielding LA₂-DGA. LA₂-DGA was then subjected to cytotoxicity testing using normal human dermal fibroblasts and primary normal human dermal microvascular endothelial cells. LA₂-DGA showed no significant toxic effects in either type of cell.
