General description
Commonly referred to as 1-desoxymethyldihydroceramide (1-desoxyMeDHCer), this product is the N-acylated form of 1-desoxymethylsphinganine, a potent inhibitor of sphingolipid metabolism. The biological activity of 1-desoxyMeDHCer is not clearly understood at this time.
N-C12-desoxymethylsphinganine commonly referred to as 1-deoxydihydroceramide (1-deoxyDHCer), is the N-acylated form of 1-deoxysphinganine, a potent inhibitor of sphingolipid metabolism.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ceramide synthases (CerS) catalyzes the acylation of sphingoid bases using fatty acyl-CoA and its inhibition results in decrease of desoxymethylsphinganine (N-acylsphinganines (dihydroceramides)) levels and accumulation of sphinganine (Sa). Dihydroceramides (DHCer) are intermediates of ceramide biosynthesis.

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
