Neutral Glycosphingolipids

α-Galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) is a synthetic glycolipid with antitumorial and immunostimulatory. α-Galactosylceramide is a very potent NKT cell agonist and binds effectively to CD1d. The complex of α-Galactosylceramide plus CD1d binds the NKT cell TCR (T cell antigen receptor).

Glucosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb1) is a deacylated form of glucosylceramide with neurotoxicity and is also a noncompetitively inhibitor of glucocerebrosidase with a K_i value of 30 μM. Glucosylsphingosine is promising for research of Krabbe and Gaucher disease.

LacCer (d18:1/16:0) (C16 Lactosylceramide (d18:1/16:0)) is an endogenous bioactive sphingolipid that can form membrane microdomains with Lyn kinase and the αi subunits of inhibitory G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The levels of LacCer (d18:1/16:0) are elevated in the plasma of insulin-resistant cattle. In a mouse model of Niemann-Pick type C1 disease (a neurodegenerative cholesterol-sphingolipid lysosomal storage disorder), the expression of LacCer (d18:1/16:0) is also upregulated. LacCer (d18:1/16:0) can be used in research on metabolic diseases and neurodegenerative diseases.

D-Glucosyl-β-1,1′-N-palmitoylsphingosine (C16 Glucosyl (β) Ceramide (d18:1/16:0)) is an endogenous Mincle ligand with immunostimulatory activity. D-Glucosyl-β-1,1′-N-palmitoylsphingosine binds to and activates macrophage-inducible C-type lectin (Mincle). D-Glucosyl-β-1,1′-N-palmitoylsphingosine is applicable to the research of immune system diseases.

Cerebroside B, a sphingolipid compound, is a non-racespecific elicitor, which elicits defense responses in rice.

C20 Glucosyl(β) ceramide (d18:1/20:0) is a β-glucosyl ceramide.

Trihexosylceramide (d18:1/12:0) is a glycosphingolipid and mood-related compound. Trihexosylceramide (d18:1/12:0) is characterized by elevated serum levels in Mus musculus fed a high-fat diet, and its levels are positively correlated with mood Z-scores. Accumulation of Trihexosylceramide (d18:1/12:0) in tissues is considered the etiology of angiokeratoma corporis diffusum. Trihexosylceramide (d18:1/12:0) can be used in studies related to high-fat diet-induced mood disorders.\n

LacCer (d18:1/20:0) is a lipid whose level is closely associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

Lc2Cer(d18:1, 22:0) is a lactosylceramide containing d18:1, C22:0 ceramides. Lc2Cer(d18:1, 22:0) can be used for renal cortical epithelial cell research.

D-lactosyl-β-1,1′ N-stearoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine is a neutral glycolipid.

LacCer(d18:1/24:0) is a lipid. LacCer(d18:1/24:0) can be found in plasma. LacCer(d18:1/24:0) is associated with critical illness after cardiac surgery.

C23 Glucosyl(β) ceramide (d18:1/23:0) is a β-Glucosyl ceramide.

β-Galactosyl-C18-ceramide is a bioactive molecule that promotes the regulation of nerve cells, regulates protein kinase C activity, and affects hormone receptors. β-Galactosyl-C18-ceramide is widely used in neuroscience research to explore its effects on nerve cell growth and function. The regulatory function of β-Galactosyl-C18-ceramide makes it a potential application prospect in compound development and disease inhibition.

Soyacerebroside I is a glycosphingolipid, together with Soyacerebroside II, which can be isolated from the seeds of Glycine max Merrill (Leguminosae). Soyacerebroside II shows ionophoretic activity for Ca²⁺.

Soyacerebroside II is a calcium ionophoretic sphingoglycolipid that can be isolated from Soybean.

Momor-cerebroside I is a cerebroside compound isolated from Momordica charantia.

D-threo-PPMP is a potent inhibitor of glucosylceramide (GlcCer) synthase. D-threo-PPMP can block karyokinesis and reduce cyst production.

Antihepatotoxic agent-1 is a cerebroside present in Lycium chinense Fruits with antihepatotoxic activity. Antihepatotoxic agent-1 exerts a protective effect by blocking the release of alanine aminotransferase and sorbitol dehydrogenase from primary cultured rat hepatocytes intoxicated with carbon tetrachloride. Antihepatotoxic agent-1 can be used in studies related to liver injury.

Longan cerebroside II is a cerebroside found in Typhonium giganteum. Longan cerebroside II shows anti-apoptosis and neuroprotective activity. Longan cerebroside II reduces protein expression of caspase-9, caspase-3, and Bax, increases Bcl-2, cytochrome c levles.
