A Novel Plasmal Conjugate to Glycerol and Psychosine ("Glyceroplasmalopsychosine")

A novel plasmal conjugate of glycosphingolipid having cationic lipid properties was isolated from the white matter of bovine brain. Linkage analysis of galactosyl residue by methylation, liquid secondary ion, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry of intact and methylated derivatives, and by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy, identified the structure unambiguously as an O-acetal conjugate of plasmal to the primary hydroxyl group of glycerol and to the 6-hydroxyl group of galactosyl residue of -galactosyl 11 sphingosine (psychosine). This novel compound is hereby termed "glyceroplasmalopsychosine"; its structure is shown below.
