Another two novel ceramides from zephyranthes candida

摘要

From the the bulbs of Zephyranthes candida (Amaryllidaceae), another two novel ceramides have been isolated and identified. The structures of the two novel compounds were established as (2S,3S,4R,21E,2'R)- 2-[N-(2'- hydroxynonadecanoyl)-N-(1'',2''-dihydroxyethyl)amino]-21-hexacosene-1,3,4-triol, named zephyranamide C (1), and 1,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxy-2-(2'- hydroxyhexacosanoyl-amino)-18-(E)-tetracosene, named zephyranamide D (2). Their structures and stereochemistries were elucidated by spectral techniques including ~1H NMR, ~(13)C NMR, as well as HSQC, HMBC, DEPT, and COSY.
