BACKGROUND /OBJECTIVE: The phospholipid 1,2-dipalmitoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) comprises two fatty acid chains: glycerol, phosphate, and ethanolamine. PE participates in critical cellular processes such as apoptosis and autophagy, which places it as a target for designing new therapeutic alternatives in diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis. Therefore, this study aimed obtain PE through a six-step organic synthesis pathway and determine its biological effect on apoptosis induction in normal human lung fibroblasts (NHLF).
METHODOLOGY: The first step of the organic synthesis route began with protected glycerol that was benzylated at sn-3; later, it was deprotected to react with palmitic acid at sn-1, sn-2. To remove the benzyl group, hydrogenation was performed with palladium on carbon (Pd/C); subsequently, the molecule was phosphorylated in sn-3 with phosphorus oxychloride and triethylamine, and the intermediate was hydrolyzed in an acid medium to obtain the final compound. After PE synthesis, apoptosis assessment was performed: apoptosis was induced using exposure to annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide-ECD (PI) and quantified using flow cytometry. The experiments were performed in three NHLF cell lines with different concentrations of PE 10, 100 and 1000 µg/mL for 24 and 48 h.
RESULTS: The PE obtained by organic synthesis presented a melting point of 190-192 °C, a purity of 95%, and a global yield of 8%. The evaluation of apoptosis with flow cytometry showed that at 24 h, exposure to PE 10, 100, and 1000 µg/mL induces early apoptosis in 19.42%- 25.54%, while late apoptosis was only significant P < 0.05 in cells challenged with 100 µg/mL PE. At 48 h, NHLF exposed to PE 10, 100, and 1000 µg/mL showed decreasing early apoptosis: 28.69-32.16%, 12.59-18.84%, and 10.91-12.61%, respectively. The rest of the NHLF exposed to PE showed late apoptosis: 12.03-16-42%, 11.04-15.94%, and 49.23-51.28%. Statistical analysis showed a significance P < 0.05 compared to the control.
CONCLUSION: The organic synthesis route of PE allows obtaining rac-1,2-O-Dipalmitoyl-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (1), which showed an apoptotic effect on NHLF.
