Ru-MgAl catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation at different pH values (x = 7-12), with the aims of investigating the effect of pH on their catalytic performance for isomerization of linoleic acid to conjugated linoleic acid and of understanding the relationship of basicity site and ruthenium activity site. The results showed that strong basicity and highly dispersed ruthenium may be the active sites for linoleic acid isomerization. Only if all three conditions, i.e., high Ru dispersion, appropriate SMSI effect and high number of strong basicity sites, are fulfilled can highly effective active sites be formed for the isomerization of linoleic acid to conjugated linoleic acid. A possible reaction mechanism for the isomerization was also proposed.

Bioactive and biocompatible conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been only considered as a food or medicine ingredient due to its rare natural occurrence. In this work, the surface activities and pH-induced self-assembling behaviors of the semi-synthetic CLA molecules into micelles or vesicles were systematically investigated. First, the self-assembling of CLA was studied in detail, and it was found that aside from temperature and ionic strength, pH is the prominent factor affecting the self-assembling of CLA. Moreover, stable CLA ufasomes (unsaturated fatty acid liposomes) in uniform size were obtained by self-crosslinking of the CLA ufasomes, and the morphologies of the crosslinked CLA assemblies were recorded by transmission electron microscopy, which made known the pH-induced formation of the CLA ufasomes or the CLA micelles. The crosslinked CLA assemblies presented improved properties such as a higher calcium stability, a lower lime soap dispersing requirement and a better solubilization ability than that of the CLA molecules themselves or the pre-crosslinked linoleic acids. These investigations could be helpful for comprehensively understanding effects of environment factors on self-assembling behaviors of conjugated fatty acids and responsive polymerization of polymerizable surfactants.

Phospholipids with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which are potential lipid prodrugs, were synthesised. CLA was obtained by the alkali-isomerisation of linoleic acid and was subsequently used in the synthesis of 1,2-di(conjugated)linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine in good (82%) yield. 1-Palmitoyl-2-(conjugated)linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was obtained by a two-step synthesis in 87% yield. All the compounds were tested in an in vitro cytotoxicity assay against two human cancer cell lines, HL-60 and MCF-7, and a mouse fibroblast cell line, Balb/3T3. The free form of CLA exhibited the highest activity against all cancer cell lines. Results obtained for the Balb/3T3 line proved that phosphatidylcholine derivatives decreased the cytotoxic effect of CLA against healthy cell lines.
