Abstract
From the edible mushroom, the basidiomycetes Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus campestris, a novel carbohydrate-homologous series of four glyco-inositol-phospho-sphingolipids, designated basidiolipids, was isolated and the constituents purified. The chemical structures of the basidiolipids were elucidated to be: Manpβ1-2inositol1-phospho-ceramide, Galpα-6[Fucpα-2]Galpβ-6Manpβ-2inositol1-phospho-ceramide, Galpα-6Galpα-6[Fucpα-2]Galpβ- 6Manpβ-2inositol1-phospho-ceramide and Galpα-6Galpα-6Galpα-6[Fucpα-2]Galpβ-6Manpβ-2inositol1-phospho-ceramide. All four glycolipids contained a ceramide which was composed of phytosphingosine and predominantly α-hydroxy-behenic and α-hydroxy-lignoceric acid.
