I had surgery in Baltimore and needed to recover locally for a week, so I booked this hotel.
They supposedly give you the option to opt-out of receiving a daily newspaper, which I did, twice, yet I still received the newspaper everyday. This is not a big deal, but why offer the option if it's not available?
I removed my "Do Not Disturb" sign by 10 am every morning, yet some of the days, by 6 PM, my room still hadn't been made up, so I'd have to call the front desk. According to literature in the room, they change sheets every 3rd day of your stay, but I was in my room during housekeeping and my sheets were not changed. It's not a big deal because I don't change my sheets at home that often, but I didn't like the fact that they lied about it.
The shower did not get hot, it was lukewarm at best and there was hair in the tub when I arrived.
They tout a bed with firmness control, but the bed in my room was broken.
I told them when I made the reservation that I was going to be recovering from surgery and would like a quiet room, but I was put on the street side of the hotel, which was anything but quiet.
One night, someone pulled the fire alarm, so I had to walk down 4 flights of stairs in my nightie and stand outside in the cold until the Fire Dept cleared the building. I know it's not the hotel's fault, but it was really the icing on the cake.
On the upside, the room was attractively decorated and had a fridge and microwave, which was very convenient given my situation. The plate in the microwave didn't fit properly so it made a loud clunking sound, but it wasn't horrible. The free internet access was ok and there was an ice machine on the floor. And once I called about housekeeping service, they responded pretty quickly.
A marketing intern must have decided to go with a "big day" theme, which was kind of weird and annoying. For example, the soap packaging said, "Start your big day with clean hands". and the room key said, "Tomorrow's a big day". I'm in a hotel 10 minutes from BWI, how "big" is my day really going to be?
I booked a Hilton because I wanted a comfortable and peaceful place to recover, but really a Days Inn would've been much cheaper, and not much worse. I'm not in a hurry to stay at another Hilton Garden Inn.

|Knee injury likely ends USC F Cunningham's season
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 23 November 2009 17:44
The junior starter also tore the meniscus in his knee while grabbing a rebound in Saturday's loss to Loyola Marymount. He underwent an MRI on Monday at USC Hospital.
Cunningham's latest major injury is another blow for the Trojans' rebuilding program under coach Kevin O'Neill, who took over in June after Tim Floyd abruptly resigned.
Cunningham already has undergone three surgeries on his left knee, tearing the anterior cruciate ligament at least twice before. His 2007-08 season ended after nine games with a ligament injury, and he played just four games last season before tearing the same ligament.

Glycidic acid derivatives substituted in the 2-position with a long chain alkenyl of from 11 to 16 carbons having hypoglycemic activity.
1. An alkenylglycidic acid derivative having the formula: ##STR3## wherein x and y are each a positive integer the sum of which (x+y) equals an integer from 8 to 13, and R is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and loweralkyl.
2. An alkenylglycidate of claim 1 wherein R is methyl.
3. Methyl 2-(cis-7,8-hexadecenyl)-glycidate.
4. 2-(cis-7,8-hexadecenyl)-glycidic acid.
The invention relates to novel alkenylglycidic acid derivatives having the formula: ##STR1## wherein x and y are each a positive integer the sum of which (x+y) equals an integer from 8 to 13, and R is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and loweralkyl, preferably methyl.
As used herein, the term "loweralkyl" may be straight or branch chained saturated hydrocarbons having from 1 to about 5 carbons, e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl and the like.
The compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by the following synthetic procedure. An olefinic acid of formula (II), wherein x and y are as previously defined, is transformed by known formylation procedures into an α-hydroxymethylolefinic acid of formula (III). Formylation of (II) is advantageously accomplished in the presence of an equivalent amount of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) which may be prepared in situ by the interaction of equimolar amounts of a loweralkyllithium, for example, methyllithium, n-butyllithium and the like, and diisopropylamine in an appropriate anhydrous aprotic organic solvent, for example, an ether such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and the like, and hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), etc. The interaction of the loweralkyllithium with diisopropylamine is preferably conducted in the cold (from about -40� to about 0� C.) under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen, argon and the like.
While maintaining the solution of lithium diisopropylamide in the cold, a solution of the olefinic acid of formula (II) in an anhydrous aprotic organic solvent as indicated previously is slowly added, preferably dropwise. After addition of (II), the temperature of the mixture may be increased, for example, to about 25�-50� C. Formaldehyde is then introduced into the reaction mixture, for example, by passing formaldehyde vapors (obtained, for example, by thermal depolymerization of paraformaldehyde) in a stream of inert gas over the surface of the mixture or by bubbling formaldehyde through the mixture. The former is preferred for technical advantages since bubbling often causes clogging of the feed apparatus due to repolymerization of the formaldehyde. The formaldehyde may also be introduced into the reaction vessel as a pre-prepared at about -78� C. formaldehyde-tetrahydrofuran solution. Such formaldehyde-tetrahydrofuran solution may be prepared by cooling the formaldehyde vapor in a vessel containing anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. After the formylation reaction is complete, the reaction mixture is cooled, preferably to about 0� C., and then treated with a strong mineral acid, for example, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and the like to acidic pH. The formylated product (III) is then recovered from the separated organic layer by conventional techniques, e.g., evaporation of solvent, recrystallization, etc.
The thus-obtained α-hydroxymethylolefinic acid of formula (III) is then dehydrated by treatment with an appropriate dehydrating agent such as, for example, concentrated phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and the like. and heated to distillation temperatures, thereby removing a molecule of water from (III) to form the corresponding acrylic acid derivative of formula (IV).
Bromination of (IV), for example, by treatment with an equivalent amount of liquid bromine in an inert organic solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon, an aromatic hydrocarbon, an ether and the like, in the cold results in bromination across the double bond of the long alkyl chain to yield the dibromoacrylic acid derivative of formula (V).
Subsequent esterification of (V) by standard techniques with an appropriate lower alcohol, for example, ethanol, propanol, isobutanol and the like affords the corresponding loweralkyl esters of formula (VI). Methyl esters may be conveniently obtained by methylation of (V) using a boron trifluoride/methanol solution under reflux conditions. The reaction mixture is then concentrated to about half its original volume, treated with suitable base, e.g., sodium or potassium bicarbonate, to about pH 7 and the resultant methyl ester (VI) extracted by conventional techniques.
Transformation of the brominated acrylate of formula (VI) to the brominated glycidates of formula (VII) is readily accomplished by treatment with an appropriate organic peracid, for example, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, trifluoroperacetic acid, peracetic acid, perphthalic acid and the like in an inert aprotic organic solvent, for example, an aromatic hydrocarbon, a halogenated hydrocarbon and the like, under reflux conditions. In order to inhibit decomposition of the peracid under such conditions, a small amount of an appropriate free radical inhibitor such as, for example, 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl sulfide, may be advantageously employed. The thus-formed loweralkyl dibromoglycidate (VII) may then be isolated from the reaction mixture by standard recovery and purification techniques.
Debromination of (VII) affords the desired alkylenic glycidic acid esters of formula (I). The elimination of bromine with formation of the alkene linkage is readily accomplished by treating (VII) with zinc and anhydrous potassium carbonate in an aprotic organic solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF), dioxane and the like. Small additions of iodine and elevated temperatures may be employed to enhance the rate of reaction. Analysis of the alkylenic product (I) so obtained, for example, by standard NMR techniques, reveals it to have the cis-configuration.
Conventional hydrolysis of the alkylenic glycidic acid esters of formula (I) is then utilized to yield the corresponding alkylenic glycidic acids of formula (I). Preferably, typical alkaline ester-to-acid hydrolysis conditions are employed, for example, by utilizing a suitable alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide to yield the corresponding acid salt followed by treatment of said salt with an appropriate mineral acid such as, for example, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and the like. In turn, the acids of formula (I) may readily be re-esterified by conventional treatment with appropriate lower alkanols to yield the desired esters of formula (I).
The foregoing synthetic sequences may be illustrated by the following schematic diagram: ##STR2##
Typical loweralkyl alkenylglycidates (I) that are obtainable according to the foregoing synthetic sequence by starting with an appropriate olefinic acid of formula (II) are the following:
______________________________________ Product (I) Olefinic Acid (II)______________________________________methyl 2-(2,3-undecenyl)-glycidate 4-tridecenoic acidethyl 2-(4,5-undecenyl)-glycidate 6-tridecenoic acidbutyl 2-(7,8-undecenyl)-glycidate 9-tridecenoic acidpentyl 2-(3,4-dodecenyl)-glycidate 5-tetradecenoic acidmethyl 2-(5,6-dodecenyl)-glycidate 7-tetradecenoic acidethyl 2-(6,7-dodecenyl)-glycidate 8-tetradecenoic acidbutyl 2-(7,8-dodecenyl)-glycidate 9-tetradecenoic acidmethyl 2-(5,6-tridecenyl)-glycidate 7-pentadecenoic acidethyl 2-(6,7-tridecenyl)-glycidate 8-pentadecenoic acidmethyl 2-(7,8-tridecenyl)-glycidate 9-pentadecenoic acidmethyl 2-(2,3-tetradecenyl)-glycidate 4-hexadecenoic acidethyl 2-(4,5-tetradecenyl)-glycidate 6-hexadecenoic acidisopropyl 2-(5,6-tetradecenyl)- glycidate 7-hexadecenoic acidmethyl 2-(7,8-tetradecenyl)-glycidate 9-hexadecenoic acidmethyl 2-(6,7-pentadecenyl)-glycidate 8-heptadecenoic acidethyl 2-(7,8-pentadecenyl)-glycidate 9-heptadecenoic acidbutyl 2-(8,9-pentadecenyl)-glycidate 10-heptadecenoic acidmethyl 2-(2,3-hexadecenyl)-glycidate 4-octadecenoic acidethyl 2-(3,4-hexadecenyl)-glycidate 5-octadecenoic acidmethyl 2-(6,7-hexadecenyl)-glycidate 8-octadecenoic acidmethyl 2-(8,9-hexadecenyl)-glycidate 10-octadecenoic acid______________________________________
Hydrolysis of the foregoing esters, as described previously, affords the corresponding acids of formula (I).
The compounds of formula (I) are useful for their hypoglycemic activity as demonstrated in a standard blood glucose tolerance test (GTT) in rats. Three to five glucose primed, fasted (18-24 hrs.), intact male rats are used for each test and control group. The compound to be tested is suspended in 0.5% aqueous methylcellulose and administered at doses of 10-150 mg/kg either intraperitoneally, subcutaneously or orally 30-60 minutes prior to administration of glucose. The glucose is given either orally (1 g/kg) or subcutaneously (0.8 g/kg). Serial blood samples are obtained from the tail without anesthesia at thirty minute intervals for 3 hours after administration of the glucose. Blood specimens are immediately deproteinized with barium hydroxide and zinc sulfate according to conventional GTT procedures and glocose levels are determined using the standard glucose oxidase assay. A significant depression of blood sugar from that of controls is observed with the subject compounds.
The following examples are intended to illustrate, but not to limit, the scope of the present invention.
α-Hydroxymethyloleic Acid: Anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (600 ml) and 24.5 g (0.24 mole) of diisopropylamine is added to a dry three neck flask purged with nitrogen and maintained under a nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling the mixture to -20� C., 94 ml of n-butyllithium in hexane (2.6 M) (0.24 mole) is added at such a rate as to prevent the temperature from exceeding 0� C. and then 40 ml of anhydrous hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) (0.22 mole) is added. To the thus prepared in situ solution of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), a solution of 28.2 g of oleic acid (0.1 mole) in 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran (THF) is added dropwise with stirring while maintaining the reaction temperature below 0� C. A milky white suspension results after the addition of oleic acid. The reaction mixture is brought to about 40� C. by using a warm water bath. The suspension changes to a clear solution as the temperature gradually reaches 40� C. This system is then connected to a formaldehyde generating system. Paraformaldehyde (20 g) is heated in a three neck flask at 180�-200� C. to generate formaldehyde and the formaldehyde vapors are carried by a stream of nitrogen over the surface of the stirred solution of α-lithiated lithium oleate prepared previously. After complete depolymerization of paraformaldehyde, the reaction solution is cooled in an ice bath and neutralized with hydrochloric acid until acidic. The organic layer is separated and is concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator to remove most of the THF solvent. The resulting oily residue is dissolved in about 500 ml of ether, washed with 10% hydrochloric acid solution and then with water. The ether layer is dried over Na2 SO4 and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure to give 23.0 g of crude product, (80% yield), α-hydroxymethyloleic acid, which is used without purification in the next synthetic step.
By repeating the procedure of Example (I) except that an equivalent amount of each of the olefinic acids of formula (II) indicated below is substituted for the oleic acid used therein, the following α-hydroxymethyl olefinic acids are obtained as respective products:
______________________________________Olefinic acid (II) Product______________________________________4-tridecenoic acid α-hydroxymethyl-4-tridecenoic acid5-tetradecenoic acid α-hydroxymethyl-5-tetradecenoic acid9-pentadecenoic acid α-hydroxymethyl-9-pentadecenoic acid4-hexadecenoic acid α-hydroxymethyl-4-hexadecenoic acid9-heptadecenoic acid α-hydroxymethyl-9-heptadecenoic acid8-octadecenoic acid α-hydroxymethyl-8-octadecenoic acid______________________________________
2-(cis-7,8-Hexadecenyl)-acrylic acid: A 9.0 g sample of α-hydroxymethyloleic acid (0.028 mole) and 4 drops of phosphoric acid (85%) are placed in a distillation flask and the mixture is heated to 270�-280� C. in an oil bath under vacuum. The product, 2-(cis-7,8-hexadecenyl)-acrylic acid is distilled over at 190�-195� C. at 0.05 mm Hg (4.2 g; 53% yield).
The dehydration procedure of Example III is repeated with an equivalent amount of each α-hydroxymethyl olefinic acid obtained in Example IV as the starting material to yield the corresponding acrylic acid products respectively:
2-(cis-2,3-undecenyl)-acrylic acid;
2-(cis-3,4-dodecenyl)-acrylic acid;
2-(cis-7,8-tridecenyl)-acrylic acid;
2-(cis-2,3-tetradecenyl)-acrylic acid;
2-(cis-7,8-pentadecenyl)-acrylic acid; and
2-(cis-6,7-hexadecenyl)-acrylic acid.
2-(7,8-Dibromohexadecyl)-acrylic acid: To a solution of 3.5 g (0.0119 mole) of 2-(cis-7,8-hexadecenyl)-acrylic acid in 100 ml of carbon tetrachloride at 0� C. (ice water bath) is added slowly 1.90 g of liquid bromine (0.0119 mole). The solvent is removed under reduced pressure, the residue is taken up in ether, washed with water and dried over Na2 SO4. Removal of the ether solvent gives 5.1 g of crude oily product, 2-(7,8-dibromohexadecyl)-acrylic acid.
The bromination procedure of Example V is conducted on an equivalent amount of each acrylic acid obtained in Example IV to yield the respective brominated products:
2-(2,3-dibromoundecyl)-acrylic acid;
2-(3,4-dibromododecyl)-acrylic acid;
2-(7,8-dibromotridecyl)-acrylic acid;
2-(2,3-dibromotetradecyl)-acrylic acid;
2-(7,8-dibromopentadecyl)-acrylic acid; and
2-(6,7-dibromohexadecyl)-acrylic acid.
Methyl 2-(7,8-dibromohexadecyl)-acrylate: The dibromo acid product obtained in Example V, 2-(7,8-dibromohexadecyl)-acrylic acid, is dissolved in 50 ml of methanol and 5 ml of boron trifluoride methanol solution is added. The solution is heated under reflux for 6 hrs. The solution is concentrated to 1/2 volume and the acid is neutralized with saturated NaHCO3 solution to about pH 7. The oily material is extracted with ether, washed with water and dried over Na2 SO4. The ether solvent is removed under reduced pressure to give 4.80 g of crude oily product, methyl 2-(7,8-dibromohexadecyl)-acrylate.
An equivalent quantity of each brominated acrylic acid obtained in Example VI is methylated according to the esterification procedure of Example VII to yield the following respective acrylates:
methyl 2-(2,3-dibromoundecyl)-acrylate;
methyl 2-(3,4-dibromododecyl)-acrylate;
methyl 2-(7,8-dibromotridecyl)-acrylate;
methyl 2-(2,3-dibromotetradecyl)-acrylate;
methyl 2-(7,8-dibromopentadecyl)-acrylate; and
methyl 2-(6,7-dibromohexadecyl)-acrylate.
Methyl 2-(7,8-dibromohexadecyl)-glycidate: A mixture of 3.80 g (0.0081 mole) of methyl 2-(7,8-dibromohexadecyl)-acrylate, 2.76 g (0.016 mole) of m-chloroperbenzoic acid and 50 mg of 3-t-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl sulfide in 50 ml of dry 1,2-dichloroethane is stirred and refluxed for 4 hrs. The mixture is cooled, filtered, and the filtrate concentrated, and about 100 ml of petroleum ether is added. The insoluble solid is filtered again and discarded. The filtrate is concentrated to dryness to give 4.2 g of oily residue. It is purified by dry column chromatography using 400 g of silica gel and eluting the column with 5% ether in petroleum ether. There is obtained 3.03 g of the pure oil, methyl 2-(7,8-dibromohexadecyl)-glycidate.
Anal. calcd. for C20 H36 O3 Br2 : C 49.60; H 7.49; Br 33.00%. Found: C 49.74; H 7.50; Br 33.24%.
The procedure of Example IX is repeated using an equivalent amount of each methyl acrylate obtained in Example VIII as the starting material to yield the following respective glycidates:
methyl 2-(2,3-dibromoundecyl)-glycidate;
methyl 2-(3,4-dibromododecyl)-glycidate;
methyl 2-(7,8-dibromotridecyl)-glycidate;
methyl 2-(2,3-dibromotetradecyl)-glycidate;
methyl 2-(7,8-dibromopentadecyl)-glycidate; and
methyl 2-(6,7-dibromohexadecyl)-glycidate.
Methyl 2-(cis-7,8-hexadecenyl)-glycidate: To a stirred mixture of 3.32 g (0.0069 mole) of methyl 2-(7,8-dibromohexadecyl)-glycidate and 9.0 g of zinc dust in 150 ml of DMF is added 1.50 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate and a few crystals of iodine. The mixture is maintained at 50� C. for 3.5 hrs. The reaction is monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The occasional addition of iodine crystals is employed to speed up the reaction. Ether is added and the zinc dust then removed by filtration. The filtrate is washed with water and dried over Na2 SO4. On removal of the ether solvent there is obtained about 2.3 g of oily product which is purified by dry column chromatography using 100 g of silica gel and eluting it with 5% ether in petroleum ether. About 1.30 g of the pure oil, methyl 2-(cis-7,8-hexadecenyl)-glycidate is obtained.
Anal. calcd. for C20 H36 O3 : C 74.02; H 11.18%. Found: C 73.91; H 11.22%. NMR: (CDCl3) 5.3 ppm (2H, olefinic); 3.73 ppm (3H, --OCH3); 2.9 ppm (AB quartet, JAB = 8Hz).
An equivalent amount of each glycidate obtained in Example X is debrominated according to the procedure of Example XI to yield the following respective esters of formula (I):
methyl 2-(cis-2,3-undecenyl)-glycidate;
methyl 2-(cis-3,4-dodecenyl)-glycidate;
methyl 2-(cis-7,8-tridecenyl)-glycidate;
methyl 2-(cis-2,3-tetradecenyl)-glycidate;
methyl 2-(cis-7,8-pentadecenyl)-glycidate; and
methyl 2-(cis-6,7-hexadecenyl)-glycidate.
2-(cis-7,8-Hexadecenyl)-glycidic acid: To 3.24 g (0.01 mole) of methyl 2-(cis-7,8-hexadecenyl)-glycidate at room temperature is added 10 ml methanol solution containing 0.857 g of anhydrous barium hydroxide. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 48 hrs. The methanol is removed under reduced pressure and the oily residue is triturated with ether. The ether solution is decanted and the residue is triturated with ether again until solidification of the residue. The solid is collected on a filter, washed with ether and dried, giving about 2.90 g of the solid barium salt of 2-(7,8-dibromohexadecyl)-glycidic acid. The salt is placed in a flask and stirred with 10 ml of 1N HCl aqueous solution. Ether is added and the mixture is stirred for 20 min. The ether layer is separated, washed with water and dried. On removal of the ether solvent there is obtained 2-(cis-7,8-hexadecenyl)-glycidic acid.
The ester-to-acid hydrolysis procedure of Example XIII is repeated with an equivalent quantity of each glycidate obtained in Example XII to yield the following respective acids of formula (I):
2-(cis-2,3-undecenyl)-glycidic acid;
2-(cis-3,4-dodecenyl)-glycidic acid;
2-(cis-7,8-tridecenyl)-glycidic acid;
2-(cis-2,3-tetradecenyl)-glycidic acid;
2-(cis-7,8-pentadecenyl)-glycidic acid; and
2-(cis-6,7-hexadecenyl)-glycidic acid.
Ethyl 2-(cis-7,8-hexadecenyl)-glycidate: 0.01 Mole of 2-(cis-7,8-hexadecenyl)-glycidic acid and an euqivalent stoichiometric amount of absolute ethanol in 600 ml of benzene containing 1 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid is heated under reflux with azeotropic removal of water for 7 hrs. The reaction mixture is filtered, washed with sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent evaporated in vacuo to give an oily residue of ethyl 2-(cis-7,8-hexadecenyl)-glycidate.

The hotels in Cha-Am are set in acres of flower gardens and water-filled low cost urns of lotus flowers decorate the hotel foyers. Many of the resorts in Cha Am feature rooms with private pools. The Thais are renowned for their massage and beauty treatments and all good hotels have excellent spa facilities which are usually reasonably priced. Local restaurants are excellent and get an A+ for service. They specialize in seafood and Thai cuisine and are much more pleasant than dining in the hotel buffets. However, after dark, if you are looking for a lively nightlife, Cha-Am is not the place for you.

EXCLUSIVE - Amazon to win EU e-book pricing tussle with Apple
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union regulators are to end an antitrust probe into e-book prices by accepting an offer by Apple (AAPL.O) and four publishers to ease price restrictions on Amazon (AMZN.O), two sources said on Tuesday.
That decision would hand online retailer Amazon (AMZN.O) a victory in its attempt to sell e-books cheaper than rivals in the fast-growing market publishers hope will boost revenue and increase customer numbers.
"Faced with years of court battles and uncertainty I can understand why some of these guys decided to fold their cards and take the whipping," said Mark Coker, founder of Smashwords, an ebook publisher and distributor that works with Apple.
"It's certainly another win for Amazon," he added. "I have not seen the terms of the final settlement, but my initial reaction is that it places restrictions on what publishers can do, slowing them down just when they need to be more nimble."
A spokesman at the EU Commission said its investigation was not yet finished. Amazon and Apple declined to comment.
In September, Apple and the publishers offered to let retailers set prices or discounts for a period of two years, and also to suspend "most-favoured nation" contracts for five years.
Such clauses bar Simon & Schuster (CBS.N), News Corp. (NWSA.O) unit HarperCollins, Lagardere SCA's (LAGA.PA) Hachette Livre and Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck, the owner of German company Macmillan, from making deals with rival retailers to sell e-books more cheaply than Apple.
The agreements, which critics say prevent Amazon and other retailers from undercutting Apple's charges, sparked an investigation by the European Commission in December last year.
Pearson Plc's (PSON.L) Penguin group, which is also under investigation, did not take part in the offer.
The EU antitrust authority, which in September asked for feedback from rivals and consumers about the proposal, has not asked for more concessions, said one of sources.
"The Commission is likely to accept the offer and announce its decision next month," the source said on Tuesday.
Antoine Colombani, spokesman for competition policy at the European Commission, said: "We have launched a market test in September and our investigation is still ongoing."
Amazon declined to comment, while Apple did not respond to an email seeking comment.
Companies found guilty of breaching EU rules could be fined up to 10 percent of their global sales, which in Apple's case could reach $15.6 billion, based on its 2012 fiscal year.
UBS analysts estimate that e-books account for about 30 percent of the U.S. book market and 20 percent of sales in Britain but are minuscule elsewhere. When Amazon launched its Kindle e-reader, it charged $9.99 per book.
Apple's agency model let publishers set prices in return for a 30 percent cut to the maker of iPhone and iPad.
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating e-book prices. HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster and Hachette have settled, but Apple, Pengin Group and Macmillan have not.
The DOJ settlement required that retailers must at least break even selling all ebooks from a publisher's available list, according to Coker and Joe Wikert, general manager and publisher at O'Reilly Media Inc.
It was not clear if EU regulators will include a similar requirement, which would prohibit Amazon from pricing all ebooks at a loss, said Wikert, a former publishing executive.
In the United States, Amazon will likely price popular titles at a loss and try to make up the difference on a publisher's other ebooks, he said.
Coker said any such rule could be dangerous in Europe, which still has distinct markets.
"It could allow a single retailer to charge full price in a large market like the U.K., and then sell below cost or for free in multiple smaller markets as a strategy to kill regional ebook retailing upstarts before they take root," Coker said.
Antitrust regulators tend to frown on restrictions on online trade and the case is a good example, said Mark Tricker, a partner at Brussels-based law firm Norton Rose.
"This case shows the online world continues to be a major focus for the Commission," he said.
"These markets change very quickly and if you don't stamp down on potential infringements of competition rules, you can have significant consequences."

Getting a grip on fire ants without getting stung
MISSISSIPPI STATE -- Fire ants are more than aptly named, given the reddish-orange color of their bodies and the painful, burning sting they can give.
Fire ants were unintentionally introduced to the United States from South America. The first documented release of fire ants occurred near Mobile, Alabama around 1918, and by the late 1930s, most of Mississippi had them.
Fire ants are very small and aggressive. When disturbed, they swarm, bite and sting, producing a painful or itchy pustule within hours.
Fire ants are persistent and difficult to eradicate. They are a potential threat to humans and pets that dig, play or run near active mounds.

VADODARA: Four years ago, 10 individuals with a shared passion for bonsai art got together in Vadodara to form the Banyan Bonsai Club Vadodara. Diligently, they honed their art, all the while sharing it with others through exhibitions and demonstrations, and today, with a strength of 250 members, the club is all set to host the All India Bonsai Convention and Exhibition, the second of its kind, in Vadodara, which is taking place after a gap of five years.
Bonsai is the oriental art of miniaturizing trees. What's unique to this three-day convention, which starts from November 23, is that among the six international masters who are attending the programme, the Japan government is flying down one of their best, Chanda Agarwal, the founder president of Vadodara club, told newspersons here on Tuesday.
Mumbai-based Jyoti and Nikunj Parekh, popularly known as the 'Bonsai Couple' of India, said the Bonsai Study Group of Indo-Japanese Association and Bonsai Friendship Federation of India were helping the Vadodara club organize the convention, which would have members from 20 affiliated clubs participating and showcasing their bonsai art.
"After attending several international conventions in South-East countries, I am convinced that we can host equally professional, if not more impressive, conventions here, because we have the required infrastructure as well as passion for this art," said Chanda, whose own collection of Bonsai contains 20-30 year-old trees.
"Ideally, the age should not be the criteria of a bonsai's beauty, we consider the number of years that a particular bonsai spent with any individual, and the care received there, as the most crucial aspect," explains Dinesh Patidar, secretary of the Vadodara club.
