General description

C8 Glucosyl(β) Ceramide (d18:1/8:0) or D-glucosyl-β-1,1′-N-octanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine is a short-chain glycosphingolipid (SC-GSL).

Application

C8 Glucosyl(β) Ceramide (d18:1/8:0) or D-glucosyl-β-1,1′-N-octanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine has been used as a stock solution for the in vitro treatment of bacteria and to study the role of sphingolipids on pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis (CF). It may be suitable for the preparation of liposomes. It may also be used as a standard for the quantification of mitoxantrone in tumor by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Biochem/physiol Actions

C8 Glucosyl(β) Ceramide (d18:1/8:0) or D-glucosyl-β-1,1′-N-octanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine improves intracellular drug delivery in tumor cells. It is also considered as a drug uptake enhancer.

Insufficient drug delivery into tumor cells limits the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy. Co-delivery of liposome-encapsulated drug and synthetic short-chain glycosphingolipids (SC-GSLs) significantly improved drug bioavailability by enhancing intracellular drug uptake. Investigating the mechanisms underlying this SC-GSL-mediated drug uptake enhancement is
