1. The effects of the hypoglycaemic compound, pent-4-enoic acid, and of four structurally related non-hypoglycaemic compounds (pentanoic acid, pent-2-enoic acid, cyclopropanecarboxylic acid and cyclobutanecarboxylic acid), on the oxidation of saturated fatty acids by rat liver mitochondria were determined. 2. The formation of 14CO2 from [1−14C]palmitate was strongly inhibited by 0·01mm-pent-4-enoic acid. 3. The inhibition of oxygen uptake was less than that of 14CO2 formation, presumably because fumarate was used as a sparker. 4. The oxidation of [1−14C]-butyrate, -octanoate or -laurate was not strongly inhibited by 0·01mm-pent-4-enoic acid. 5. The other four non-hypoglycaemic compounds did not inhibit the oxidation of any saturated fatty acid when tested at 0·01mm concentration, though they all inhibited strongly at 10mm. 6. The oxidation of [1−14C]-myristate and -stearate, but not of [1−14C]decanoate, was strongly inhibited by 0·01mm-pent-4-enoic acid. 7. The oxidation of [1−14C]palmitate was about 50% carnitine-dependent under the experimental conditions used. 8. The percentage inhibition of [1−14C]palmitate oxidation by pent-4-enoic acid was the same whether carnitine was present or not. 9. Acetoacetate formation from saturated fatty acids was inhibited by 0·1mm-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid to a greater extent than their oxidation. 10. The other compounds tested inhibited acetoacetate formation from saturated fatty acids proportionately to the inhibition of oxidation. 11. Possible mechanisms for the inhibition of long-chain fatty acid oxidation by pent-4-enoic acid are discussed. 12. There was a correlation between the ability to inhibit long-chain fatty acid oxidation and hypoglycaemic activity in this series of compounds.

Abstract The hexane and methanol extracts of the roots of Cymbopogon martinii var. motia have been investigated to afford mainly fatty acids and common sterols. A new hydroxy unsaturated fatty acid, namely, 16-hydroxypentacos- 14(z)-enoic acid, has also been isolated.

1. A major component of the lipids in aqueous (pH7.5) homogenates of tuber tissue from Solanum tuberosum was isolated and characterized as 9-(nona-1′,3′-dienoxy)non-8-enoic acid. 2. This novel unsaturated ether fatty acid derivative, which contains a butadienylvinyl ether function, has the structure: [Formula: see text] and is formed from linoleic acid by a sequence of enzymic reactions. 3. A precursor of the unsaturated ether derivative is 9-d-hydroperoxyoctadeca-10,12-dienoic acid, formed by the action of S. tuberosum lipoxygenase on linoleic acid. 4. An enzyme that converts the fatty acid hydroperoxide into the unsaturated ether derivative was isolated from S. tuberosum. The pH optimum of this enzyme is approx. 9, although the overall conversion of linoleic acid into the ether derivative is maximal at pH7.5. 5. An unusual feature of this pathway is the insertion of an oxygen atom into the alkyl chain of a fatty acid. 6. This novel mechanism may play a role in the breakdown of polyunsaturated fatty acids to volatile products in plants.
