Abstract

An unprecedented aldehyde-containing digalactosyldi-acylglycerol (DGDAG) has been isolated from the red algaGracilariopsis lemaneiformis and structurally defined. Its structure was determined as 1-O-[5-hydroxy-12-oxododeca-6(E), 8(E), 10(E)-trienoyl]-2-O-palmitoyl-3-O-[-β-D-galactopyranosyl-6,1-α-D-galactopyranosyl]-glycerol by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and degradation to simple fragments. The identification of this aldehyde-containing DGDAG fromG. lemaneiformis, in addition to our previous findings of unusual galactolipids, further indicates that this alga has unique lipoxygenase capacities.
