Abstract
Four neutal fraction glycosphingolipids, designated components 4-7, were purified from the pupae of Calliphora vicina and isolated by the use of high performance liquid chromatography. Their chemical structures were determined to be: GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Man(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer; GalNAc(alpha 1-4)GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Man(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer and Gal(alpha 1-3)GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Man(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer; Gal(beta 1-3)GalNAc(alpha 1-4)GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Man(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer; and GlcNAC(beta 1-3)Gal(beta 1-3)GalNAc(alpha 1-4)GalNAc(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Man(beta 1-4)Glc(beta 1-1)Cer. By the use of specific exoglycosidases, it was possible to assign anomeric configurations to all the sugar residues present. Analysis of the ceramide moiety by electron-impact mass spectrometry revealed the dominant fatty acid and sphingoid to be arachidic acid (C20:0) and tetradecasphing-4-enine, respectively.Entities:
