Stereospecific induction of apoptosis in U937 cells by N-octanoyl-sphingosine stereoisomers and N-octyl-sphingosine. The ceramide amide group is not required for apoptosis.

N Karasavvas et al.

European journal of biochemistry, 236(2), 729-737 (1996-03-01)

We investigated the ability of N-octanoyl-sphingosine (C8-Cer) stereoisomers, N-octanoyl-DL-erythro-dihydrosphingosine (DL-e-DHC8-Cer), and a new ceramide derivative, N-octyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (D-e-C8-Ceramine), to induce apoptosis in U937 cells. We found the C8-Cer stereoisomers to be stereospecific with the D- and L-threo stereoisomers being severalfold more
