Popis: A novel phosphonglycosphingolipid was purified from the whole tissue of the antarctic krill, Euphausia superba by successive column chromatography on DEAE- and QAE-Sephadex and silicic acid (Iatrobeads). The structure was elucidated by means of IR, FAB-MS, 1H-NMR, GC and GC-MS analyses of the water-soluble products after complete and partial acid hydrolysis, and methylation analysis of a product of hydrogen fluoride degradation; it was identified to be a phosphonocerebroside, 6'-O-(N-methyl-2-aminoethylphosphonyl)Glcp beta 1----1ceramide. The ceramide moiety was composed of tetradecasphingenine and octadecasphingatriene as the main sphingoids, and monounsaturated C22- and C24-acids and their 2-hydroxy homologues as the major fatty acids.
