Daumone, 6-(3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-heptanoic acid is a pheromone secreted by Caenorhabditis elegans, and has been known as a pivotal regulator of chemosensory processes in development and ageing. A quantification method using mass spectrometry was developed for the determination of daumone in rat plasma. After simple protein precipitation with acetonitrile including an internal standard, the analytes were chromatographed on a reversed-phase column and detected by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization. The accuracy and precision of the assay were in accordance with FDA regulations for validation of bioanalytical methods. This method was applied to measure the plasma daumone concentrations after a single intravenous administration of daumone in rats.

Background: Enoyl-CoA hydratase (MAOC) is required for the biosynthesis of the fatty acid-derive side chains of the ascaroside via peroxisome β-oxidation in the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The derivative of dideoxy-sugar, ascarylose is used as dauer pheromones or daumones to induce development of the stress-resistant dauer larvae stage.
Methods: Hc-maoc-1 gene was obtained by searching the Wellcome Trusts Sanger Institute's H.

The asymmetric total syntheses of daumone , daumone along with 5 new analogs are described. The key steps of our approach are: the diastereoselective palladium catalyzed glycosylation reaction; the Noyori reduction of 2-acetylfuran and an ynone, which introduce the absolute stereochemistry of the sugar and aglycon portion of daumone; and an Achmatowicz rearrangement, an epoxidation and a ring opening installing the remaining asymmetry of daumone. The synthetic daumones and as well as related analogs were evaluated for dauer activity in and for effects on hatching of the related nematode .

The liver is one of the most susceptible organs to aging, and hepatic inflammation and fibrosis increase with age. Chronic inflammation has been proposed as the major molecular mechanism underlying aging and age-related diseases, whereas calorie restriction has been shown to be the most effective in extending mammalian lifespan and to have anti-aging effects through its anti-inflammatory action. Thus, it is necessary to develop effective calorie restriction mimetics.

The dauer state is a non-feeding, alternative L3 state characterized by a number of distinctive metabolic and morphological changes. There are many naturally occurring dauer-inducing pheromones, termed daumones, that have been suggested by some to exhibit differences in dauer-inducing activity. Here, we have established a standard dauer-formation assay that uses synthetic daumones 1, 2, and 3, the three major daumones.
