A set of four cerebrosides was isolated from a Pachybasium species and purified by preparative reversed-phase HPLC. All four products displayed activity in a natural product screen aimed at detecting novel cell wall-active antifungal agents based on synergy with the known glucan synthetase inhibitor, aculeacin. Based on degradation studies, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and 13C and high field 1H NMR techniques, the structure of the major cerebroside was determined to be (4E,8E)-N-D-2'-hydroxy-(E)-3'- hexadecenoyl-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-9-methyl-4,8-sphingadiene. The other components were found to be the corresponding 2'-hydroxypalmitic acid analog with one less double bond and an analogous pair containing 2'-hydroxystearic acid with and without the 3' double bond.

D010456 Peptides, Cyclic Peptides whose amino acid residues are linked together forming a circular chain. Some of them are ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS; some are biosynthesized non-ribosomally (PEPTIDE BIOSYNTHESIS, NON-RIBOSOMAL). Circular Peptide,Cyclic Peptide,Cyclic Peptides,Cyclopeptide,Orbitide,Circular Peptides,Cyclopeptides,Orbitides,Peptide, Circular,Peptide, Cyclic,Peptides, Circular
D002554 Cerebrosides Neutral glycosphingolipids that contain a monosaccharide, normally glucose or galactose, in 1-ortho-beta-glycosidic linkage with the primary alcohol of an N-acyl sphingoid (ceramide). In plants the monosaccharide is normally glucose and the sphingoid usually phytosphingosine. In animals, the monosaccharide is usually galactose, though this may vary with the tissue and the sphingoid is usually sphingosine or dihydrosphingosine.
