Abstract
Abstract Sphingophosphonolipids were isolated from eight kinds of marine shellfish and the fatty acids, long chain bases and water soluble carbon-phosphorous compounds of the sphingophosphonolipids were analyzed. In all shellfish, the fatty acid composition was very simple. The main fatty acid was hexadecanoic acid and 2-hydroxy hexadecanoic acid. On the other hand, the long chain base fraction showed a complex pattern characteristic of each shellfish. Dienic long chain base was predominant in all shellfish sphingophosphonolipids studied and its content varied with the species and the parts of shellfish. Two new long chain bases, docosa-4,15-sphingadienine and 4-hydroxy-docosa-15-sphingenine, were characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
