DL-ERYTHRO-DIHYDROSPHINGOSINE Usage And Synthesis

Description

DL-erythro Sphinganine (d18:0) is a precursor of ceramide and sphingosine as well as a substrate of sphingosine kinases, which generate sphinganine-1-phosphate . Sphinganine levels increase significantly in response to certain mycotoxins, including fumonisins as well as in some cancers. This product is a mixture of sphinganine (d18:0) , L-erythro sphinganine (d18:0) , D-threo sphinganine (d18:0) , and L-threo sphinganine (d18:0). [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1324]

Chemical Properties

White Powder

Uses

Biosynthetic precursor of sphingosine. Inhibits protein kinase C

Uses

DL-erythro-Dihydrosphingosine is an inhibitor of PKC (protein kinase C). This compound also blocks PLA2 (phospholipases A2) and the D-sphingosine precursor.

Definition

ChEBI: 2-aminooctadecane-1,3-diol is an aminodiol that is octadecane bearing two hydroxy substituents at positions 1 and 3 as well as an amino substituent at position 2. It is a sphingoid and an aminodiol.

Biological Activity

Protein kinase C inhibitor.

storage

-20°C (desiccate)

Purification Methods

Purify it by recrystallisation from pet ether/EtOAc or CHCl3. The (±)-N-dichloroacetyl derivative has m 142-144o (from MeOH). [Shapiro et al. J Am Chem Soc 80 2170 1958, Shapiro & Sheradsky J Org Chem 28 2157 1963.] The D-isomer crystallises from pet ether/Et2O and has m 78.5-79o, [] 28 +6o (CHCl3/MeOH, 10:1). [Grob & Jenny Helv Chim Acta 35 2106 1953, Jenny & Grob Helv Chim Acta 36 1454 1953, Beilstein 4 I 448, 4 II 757, 4 III 854, 4 IV 1887.]
