1 α-galactosylceramide (α-galcer) or the common name of KRN7000 was isolated from an extract of the Okinawan marine sponge Agelas mauritianus. The Alpha-GalCer structure consist of a galactose combined with a ceramide in an alpha-configuration. Alpha-GalCer is a specific ligand for human and mouse natural killer T (NKT) cells and KRN7000 exhibits potent anti-tumor activity with murine in vivo experiments including subcutaneous implanted model and metastatic models in the liver and lung. In the liver metastatic models, treatment with KRN7000 suppressed the growth of tumors and prolonged the survival term of the tumor-bearing mice. KRN7000 has been reported to show various immunological effects in infectious diseases, autoimmune disease and graft verse host disease in mice. agalcer a1 Ceramide GSL001 (2S,3S,4R)-1-O-(α-D-Galactopyranosyl)-N-hexacosanoyl-2-amino-1,3,4-octadecanetriol α-galcer, α-galactosylceramide, KRN7000 C 50 H 99 NO 9 Selected References: Molecular Weight: Aline Banchet-Cadeddu et.al The stimulating adventure of KRN 7000 Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, 9(9), (2011) 2.

13 (Neo)lacto-series GSLs have been found on the surface of human hematopoietic cells and involve in the differentiation of hematopoietic cells. Among the members studied, nlc 4, nlc 6, and nlc 8 containing 1-3 repeating b1-3-linked LacNAc sequences have been found in elevated levels on tumor cells and in sera of cancer patients. The levels of nlc 4, nlc 6, and nlc 8 can be elevated during corneal epithelial cell migration, indicating their roles in corneal epithelial cell migration and wound healing by influencing cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. nlc 4, nlc 6, and nlc 8 also serve as receptors for some bacteria and bacterial products. nlcs are also common core structures for more complex glycolipids. They can serve as precursors for Lex-GSLs which have been shown to mediate cell-cell interactions.

19 Chemily, LLC Glycolipids Globo- and isoglobo-series GSLs are membrane-associated antigens. They are recognized by both adhesive proteins such as proteins of pathogenic E. coli in human epithelial cells of the urinary tract and toxins including bacterial lectins. Many globo-gsls have been identified as tumor-specific antigens, exemplified by the observation of elevated globotriaosylceramide levels in Burkitt s lymphoma. Tumor-associated Globo H antigen was initially identified from human breast cancer cell line MCF-7120 and later found in several human cancers. Globo H-based synthetic vaccines have shown promising results in clinical trials for breast and prostate cancers.
