Abstract
A ganglioside was isolated from the starfishLinckia laevigata, and its structure was elucidated by chemical methods, mass spectrometry, and enzymatic hydrolysis with neuraminidase. The ganglioside is a hematoside containing 8-O-methyl-N-glycolylneuraminic acid, 8-O-Me-Neu5Gc-α2→3-Gal-β1→4-Glc-β1→1-Cer. The lipid part of the ganglioside consists of unsubstituted fatty acids (the major component is palmitic acid) and C18∶1-iso-sphingenine.
