The present invention relates to new compounds, more specifically, new compounds equivalent to plasmalogens (plasmalogen derivatives).
While phospholipids are important as structural components of a biomembrane, approximately 18% of phospholipids of a mammal biomembrane are plasmalogens that are ether phospholipids. In particular, it is known that many of them are found in brain nerves, heart muscles, skeletal muscles, white blood cells and sperms.
Many of plasmalogens are bound to polyunsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acids, arachidonic acids, etc. Therefore, they play not only a role as storage of second messengers for signals between cells such as prostaglandin, leukotriene, etc., but also significant roles as cell fusion, ion transport, etc.
In addition, it has been made clear that plasmalogens themselves involve in signal transmission via a particular G-protein-coupled type receptors (GPCR). For example, while plasmalogens inhibit neuronal cell death by reinforcing activity of protein phosphoenzyme such as AKT, ERK, etc. of a nerve cell (see Non-patent Document 1), it was reported that 5 certain kinds of GPCR involve as a mechanism for such a cell signal transmission (see Non-patent Document 2).
Further, when LPS was injected into an abdominal cavity of a mouse for seven days, IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA expressed strongly in its prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, and β amyloid (Aβ1-16) positive neurons expressed along with activation of glia cells. When plasmalogens were co-administered into the abdominal cavity with the LPS injection, they significantly reduced activation of glia cells involving cytokine production, so did accumulation of Aβ protein. In addition, although the contained amount of plasmalogens was reduced by LPS in the prefrontal area and hippocampus, such a reduction was suppressed by the co-administration of plasmalogens.
In other words, it is considered that plasmalogens have anti-neuroinflammatory and anti-amyloidogenic effects, thereby suggesting their preventive or improvement (therapeutic) application against Alzheimer's disease (see Non-patent Document 3).
It is known that plasmalogens are decreased in patients with brain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson disease, depression and schizophrenia, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, ischemic heart disease, various infectious diseases, and immune disorder.
For example, it was reported in 1999 that in brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (from dead bodies' brains), ethanolamine-type plasmalogens were quite significantly decreased in its prefrontal cortex and hippocampus (see Non-patent Document 4). In addition, in 2007, it was reported that plasmalogens were decreased in serum of a patient suffering Alzheimer's disease (see Non-patent Document 5).
Further, it was reported that choline-type plasmalogens were decreased in a group of ischemic heart disease as compared to those in a group of normal control (see Non-patent Document 6).
Since it is considered that supplementing those decreased plasmalogens externally can expect preventing and improving effects of those diseases, various attempts have been made conventionally to extract those plasmalogens from an animal tissue. For example in Patent Document 1, it is proposed a method of providing extraction processing to a chicken breast layers using ethanol as extraction solvent to collect an extraction liquid.
In addition, Patent Document 2 proposes a method characterized in providing extraction processing to a bivalve such as scallops using stirred solvent of non-polar organic solvent and branched alcohol, followed by processing with phospholipase A1 (PLA1), to remove foreign substance of diacyl phospholipids by hydrolysis.
In addition, it was reported that a randomized double-blinded clinical trial was carried out to human patients with mild Alzheimer's disease or mild dementia where plasmalogens extracted from the above scallop strips were orally administered, as a consequence of which it strongly suggested that a cognitive function is improved for patients with mild Alzheimer's disease (see Non-patent Document 7).
On the other hand, as a synthesis example of plasmalogen derivant, it is proposed a new plasmalogen precursor that couples α-lipoic acid at a sn-3 position of plasmalogens, for the purpose of preventing or improving various diseases caused from deficient plasmalogens by increasing plasmalogen level (see Patent Document 3). It was reported that such derivant was effective for a monkey model with Parkinson disease (see Non-patent Document 8).
In addition, it is proposed in Patent Document 4 that a derivant with a sn-1 position acetylated is a good carrier of docosahexaenoic acid, which is effective for a mouse model with acute stroke (see Non-patent Document 9).

Under the above backgrounds, the present invention is to provide new compounds having a heteroatom such as an oxygen atom, nitrogen atom, sulfur atom, etc. at a sn-1 position, which exhibits effects identical to or more than natural plasmalogens.
