Glycosphingolipids with a coupling group in the sphingolipid part, their preparation and use

摘要

The invention relates to the chemical modification of the sphingoid parts of glycosphingolipids. It has been possible by a series of reactions to introduce an amino group in the position of the carbon double bond in the sphingoid part after elimination of the long-chain aldehyde. Glycosphingolipids of the formula (2) and (3), where X and Y is a group capable of coupling, are suitable for coupling to other molecules, preferably proteins. X is preferably NH2 and Y is preferably IMAGE IMAGE
