Figure 38 Reactions catalyzed by phospholipases (PL) A 1,A 2, C, <strong>and</strong> D: R 1,R 2, fatty<br />

acids/acyl moieties; X, base or alcohol (e.g., choline, ethanolamine, etc.).<br />

Long chain PUFAs from fish oil, dissolved in propane (299) or isooctane (300)<br />

have been esterified to sn-1-acyl-lysophosphatidylcholine to an extent of about 20<br />

to 25% using porcine pancreatic phospholipase A 2 as biocatalyst. Similarly, phospholipase<br />

A 2–mediated esterification of eicosapentaenoic acid to lysophosphatidylcholine<br />

in the presence of formamide has been used to prepare therapeutic phospholipids<br />

in yields of about 60% (301).<br />

with �3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (�3 PUFA) catalyzed by phospholipase A 2.<br />
