摘要

A novel phosphonoglycosphingolipid named SGL-I containing 3 mol of 2-aminoethylphosphonate residues was isolated from the skin of a sea gastropod, Aplysia kurodai. The saccharide moiety of the glycolipid was characterized as 4-O-methyl-GlcNAc alpha 1----4GalNAc alpha-1----3 [6'-O-(2-aminoethylphosphonyl)Gal alpha 1----2] (2-aminoethylphosphonyl----6)Gal beta 1----4(2-aminoethylphosphonyl----6) Glc beta 1----1-ceramide. The major aliphatic components of the ceramide portion were palmitic acid, stearic acid, octadeca-4-sphingenine, and anteisononadeca-4-sphingenine. This glycolipid is unique in containing 4-O-methyl-N-acetylglucosamine and 3 mol of 2-aminoethylphosphonate residues, one of which is attached to C-6 of glucose.
