Abstract
A new ceramide alomacrorrhiza A was isolated from the ethanolic extract of the plantAlocasia macrorrhiza (L.) Schott. Its chemical structure was elucidated as (2S, 3S, 4R)-2A/-[(2’R)-2’-hydroxy-hexacosanoyl]-tetradecane-1,3,4-triol based on extensive 1D, 2D NMR, EI-MS, FABMS, HR-FAB-MS spectroscopic data and chemical degradation studies.
