The natural product D-erythro-sphingosine and synthetic racemic dihydrosphingosines were examined for their abilities to self-assemble into high-axial-ratio microstructures. When precipitated from methanol/water solution, D-erythro-sphingosine formed a viscoelastic gel composed of 50-nm diameter flexible fibers. These are 'cochleate cylinders' composed of

Sphingosine (Sph) is emerging as an intracellular regulator of cellular differentiation and apoptosis (Ohta, et al., Cancer Res., 55, 691-697, 1995). We have recently found that both Sph and its methylated derivative N,N-dimethylsphingosine (DMS) inhibit mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity
