Synthesis of diglycerides containing polyunsaturated fatty acids

Abstract

Synthetic approaches to obtain diglycerides containing polyunsaturated fatty acids at C(2 ) position of glycerol were developed. These compounds can be used to generate antitumor lipids and enzymatically triggered liposomes .
