Previously unknown 4,5-epoxy-N-acetyl-sphingosine (1) was synthesized by epoxidation of N-acetyl-sphingosine with 1,1-dimethyldioxirane. A by-product generated by HPLC purification is the tetrahydrofuryl derivative of acetamide (2). Mainly allylic oxidation was observed when natural ceramides were reacted with dimethyldioxirane.

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a clinically useful cytokine. TRAIL induces apoptosis in a wide variety of transformed cells, but does not cause toxicity to most normal cells. Recent studies show that death receptors (DR4 and DR5), decoy receptors (DcR1 and DcR2), and death inhibitors (FLIP, FAP-1, and IAP) are ...

Ceramide in Chemotherapy of Tumors
Recent Patents on Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery, 2011It is well known that tumor formation arises from the imbalance between cell death and proliferation. For many years, cancer research has engaged an important part of its efforts to find new therapeutic strategies based on cell death induction. One of the predominant ways to kill tumor cells is to trigger apoptosis by chemotherapy.

Constituents of ceramide and ceramide monohexoside in rice bran
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1976Abstract Previous studies in our laboratory [1,2] indicated the existence of ceramides and ceramide monochexosides in brown rice grain. More recently, we have obtained evidence for the presence of these and other sphingolipids (ceramide dihexosides and ceramide trihexosides) in rice bran.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Ceramide and Ceramide-Phosphatidylcholine Bilayers
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2017Recent studies in lipid raft formation and stratum corneum permeability have focused on the role of ceramides (CER). In this study, we use the all-atom CHARMM36 (C36) force field to simulate bilayers using N-palmitoylsphingosine (CER16) or α-hydroxy-N-stearoyl phytosphingosine (CER[AP]) in 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) or 1 ...

Bacterial Infections and Ceramide
2013Ceramide is released from sphingomyelin primarily by the activity of acid, neutral, or alkaline sphingomyelinases or is synthesized de novo. Several bacteria, viruses, and even parasites infect mammalian cells by exploiting the acid sphingomyelinase or the neutral sphingomyelinase-ceramide system, or both. Sphingomyelinases and ceramide have been shown

Are ceramide molecules capable of self-assembling in biological and phospholipid membranes to form ceramide channels: membrane channels capable to translocating proteins through said membranes? A number of papers have been published which support the conclusion that ceramide forms these large channels in membranes.

Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) molecule; these mutations result in a defect in chloride secretion in epithelial cell layers. The disease is characterized by severe gastrointestinal and pulmonary symptoms, but it is the pulmonary symptoms that dominate the clinical course of the ...

Ceramide synthesis in the epidermis
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2014The epidermis and in particular its outermost layer the stratum corneum provides terrestrial vertebrates with a pivotal defensive barrier against water loss, xenobiotics and harmful pathogens. A vital demand for this epidermal permeability barrier is the lipid-enriched lamellar matrix that embeds the enucleated corneocytes.
