Abstract

A glucosylceramide with novel ceramide and three novel ceramide homologs were isolated from the basidiomycete Cortinarius umidicola and structurally characterized. The ceramide portion of the glucocerebroside consists of a rare (4E,8E)-9-methyl-4,8-sphingadienine sphingoid base. In contrast, the three ceramide homologs, while having the same sphingoid base, contain as FA residues 2-hydroxydocosanoic acid, 2-hydroxytricosanoic acid, and 2-hydroxytetracosanoic acid.
