Saturated ceramides from the sponge Dysidea robusta

Nat Prod Commun. 2009 Jul;4(7):917-20.

Abstract

Chemical investigation of the crude extract of a marine sponge Dysidea robusta led to the isolation of an inseparable mixture of saturated ceramides. These were identified from spectroscopic data as well as by hydrolysis followed by LC-MS analysis of the sphingosine moieties.
