Astonishing diversity of natural surfactants: 4. Fatty acid amide glycosides, their analogs and derivatives

Abstract: FA amide glycosides are of great interest, especially for the medicinal and pharmaceutical industries. These biologically active natural surfactants are good prospects for future chemical preparation of compounds useful as antibiotics, anticancer agents, or for industry. More than 200 unusual and interesting natural surfactants, including their chemical structures and biological activities, are described in this review article.

“…A series of reviews by Dembitsky shows the astonishing structural diversity of natural glycolipids and, despite being only a minor component in biological membranes of animal cells, the presence of glycolipids in nature is pervasive [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. This strongly suggests that their importance is no less than that of the major membrane lipid components such as phospholipids.…”

“…These surfactants are biologically active and therefore considered as good prospects for future chemical preparation of compounds useful as antibiotics and even anticancer agents [112]. On the other hand, they are commercially important products for the detergent sector,m ainly used in powdered and liquid detergents and liquid dishwashing agents [12,87].…”

“…A group of amide glucosides is based on the uracil and disaccharide-containing tunicamycin, a glycoprotein with antibacterial properties (Dembitsky, 2005c). In this glycoprotein, two saturated or unsaturated partly branched fatty acid chains varying in length are linked via an amide to the galactosamine/glucosamine disaccharide.…”
