Abstract

Six amphoteric galactocerebrosides were isolated from the land annelid (Hirudo nipponica). Two of them have a tri-unsaturated long-chain base, D-erythro-(4E, 8Z, 11Z)-docosasphingatrienine. The position and geometry of the double bonds in the long-chain base unit were determined on the bases of chemical and spectral data.
