In the present study, porcine pancreatic lipase, rabbit gastric lipase, and human gastric lipase stereospecificity toward enantiomeric glyceride derivatives was kinetically investigated using the monomolecular film technique. Pseudoglycerides such as enantiomeric 1(3)-alkyl-2,3(1,2)-diacyl-sn-glycerol, enantiomeric 1(3)-alkyl-2-acyl- sn-glycerol, or enantiomeric 1(3)-acyl-2-acylamino-2-deoxy-sn-glycerol were synthesized in order to assess the lipase stereoselectivity during the hydrolysis of either the primary or the secondary ester position of these glycerides analogues. The cleaved acyl moiety was the same in both enantiomers, thereby excluding the possibility of effects occurring due to fatty acid specificity. We observed a porcine pancreatic lipase sn-3 stereoselectivity when using the enantiomeric 1(3)-alkyl-2-acylamino-2-deoxy-sn-glycerol (diglyceride analogue) which contrasted with the lack of stereoselectivity observed when using the enantiomeric 1(3)-alkyl-2,3(1,2)-diacyl-sn-glycerol (triglyceride analogue). The gastric lipases, in contrast to the pancreatic lipase, preferentially catalyze the hydrolysis of the primary sn-3 ester bond of the enantiomeric monoakyl-diacyl pair tested. From these kinetic data, high hydrolysis rates and no chiral discrimination were observed in the case of rabbit gastric lipase, whereas low rates and a clear chiral discrimination was noticed in the case of human gastric lipase during hydrolysis of the acyl chain from the secondary ester bond of 1(3)-alkyl-2-acyl enantiomers. It is particularly obvious that in the case of human gastric lipase decreasing the lipid packing increases the lipase sn-3 stereopreference during hydrolysis of the primary ester bond of the enantiomeric 2-acylamino derivatives (diglyceride analogue).
