General description

N-C24:1-desoxymethylsphinganine Commonly referred to as 1-desoxymethyldihydroceramide (1-desoxyMeDHCer), is the N-acylated form of 1-desoxymethylsphinganine, a potent inhibitor of sphingolipid metabolism. 1-deoxysphinganine (1-deoxySa) with N-acyl groups are referred as 1-deoxydihydroceramides and can have 16, 20 and 24 carbon chain.

Ceramides and dihydroceramides are N-acyl derivatives of sphingosine and sphinganine, respectively, which are the major sphingoid-base backbones of mammals. Recent studies have found that mammals, like certain other organisms, also produce 1-deoxy-(dihydro)ceramides (1-deoxyDHCers) that contain sphingoid bases lacking the 1-hydroxyl-

"Sphingosin" was first described by J. L. W. Thudichum in 1884 and structurally characterized as 2S,3R,4E-2-aminooctadec-4-ene-1,3-diol in 1947 by Herb Carter, who also proposed the designation of "lipides derived from sphingosine as sphingolipides." This category of amino alcohols is now
