Abstract:
A composition comprising: whereinA comprises H, OH, a sugar moiety, an ether, an ester, an amide, NH2, or an acid or salt thereof; B is selected from the group consisting of N. NR, P, P&boxH;O, CH, and CR, wherein R is an alkyl chain of 1 to 6 carbons and the chain may be functionalized or non-functionalized; C1, C2 and C3 are connecting groups which may be different and are selected from the group consisting of â€”(CH2)nâ€” and (CH2CH2â€”O)y wherein n is an integer from 1 to 24, â€”(CH2)nâ€” may be functionalized or non-functionalized, and y is an integer from 1 to 12; and D1 and D2 are fatty acid chains which may be different and are selected from the group consisting of fatty acid esters of the form CH3(CH2)n COO, and fatty acid amides of the form CH3(CH2)n CONH, wherein n is an integer from 1 to 32, at least one of the fatty chains is cis-unsaturated at one or more positions, and the fatty chains may be of different lengths and may be unsaturated at different locations with the proviso that when B is N, NR, or CR, that A is not H or OH when C3 is â€”(CH2)nâ€”.
