Description

1-Adamantane ethanol (1AE) is a red blood cell membrane lipid that has been shown to have antimicrobial properties. 1AE is synthesized from 1-adamantanol, which is produced by the hydrolysis of the acyl chain in cholesterol. The acyl chains on 1AE are saturated and contain methoxy groups. The synthesis of 1-adamantanol involves transfer reactions with phthalimides and hydroxide ions. 1-Adamantane ethanol inhibits the growth of staphylococcus, including methicillin resistant strains, through its minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). It also has anti-inflammatory effects, inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in red blood cells.
