A careful examination of the low-molecular-weight solutes released during mild acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (N.C.T.C. 1999) revealed the presence of ethanolamine triphosphate. During storage, the compound decomposed to give ethanolamine pyrophosphate, identified in a previous study (Drewry et al., 1971); PPi may be a further decomposition product. Evidence for the attachment of ethanolamine triphosphate to a polysaccharide fraction was obtained, but the possibility that some was attached to the lipid A moiety was not excluded. Basic compounds released during the hydrolysis of lipopolysaccharide included amino acids, polyamines and oligopeptides.

The low molecular weight fraction of κ-carrageenan is useful in biomedical applications. An ultrasound-assisted acid hydrolysis of κ-carrageenan has been studied. κ-carrageenan with an initial number-average molecular weight of 629 kDa was dispersed in distilled water to form a 5 g/l solution. The pH (3 and 6) of the solution was adjusted by adding HCl solution. The depolymerization reaction was carried out in an ultrasonic device at various temperatures (30, 40, 50, and 60°C) and times (8, 16, 24, and 32 min). The experimental results showed that ultrasound positively contributed to acid hydrolysis process. The number-average molecular weight of the treated k-carrageenan was lower or the percentage of reduction was higher at lower pH, longer reaction time, and higher temperature. The lowest number-average molecular weight (14 kDa) or the highest percent of molecular weight reduction reduction (97.7%) was achieved after ultrasonic irradiation at 60°C and pH 3 for 32 min. Keywords: depolymerization; midpoint scission; ultrasonication

A partially purified blood group-like substance obtained from milk showed I activity with 2 of 21 anti-I sera. With these antisera, certain human ovarian cyst substances considered to be precursors of the A, B, H, Lea, and Leb substances also showed I activity comparable to the milk material. Strong I activity could be produced by one-stage periodate oxidation and Smith degradation of human ovarian cyst A and B substances, or of hog mucin A + H substance, or by mild acid hydrolysis of human saliva or ovarian cyst blood group B substance. The two sera indicate that I specificity appears at intermediate stages in the biosynthesis of the A, B, H, Lea, and Lea substances. Anti-I sera differ strikingly in their specificities, indicating substantial heterogeneity of the I determinants.

A reliable method for the synthesis of trisubstituted enol ethers (and of the corresponding methyl ketones) is described involving the condensation of the α-lithiated 2-methoxypropionic acid salt with a ketone to give a β-hydroxy acid, the cyclization to a β-lactone which is then decarboxylated (and mild acid hydrolysis of the enol ether).
