General description
Commonly referred to as 1-deoxydihydroceramide (1-deoxyDHCer), this product is the N-acylated form of 1-deoxysphinganine, a potent inhibitor of sphingolipid metabolism. The biological activity of 1-deoxyDHCer is not clearly understood at this time.
N-C16-deoxysphinganine Commonly referred to as 1-deoxydihydroceramide (1-deoxyDHCer), is the N-acylated form of 1-deoxysphinganine, a potent inhibitor of sphingolipid metabolism. The N-acyl group can be 16, 20 and 24 carbon chain. N-acylsphinganines (dihydroceramides) are synthesized by the acylation of sphingoid bases in the presence of ceramide synthases (CerS).
Biochem/physiol Actions
N-acylsphinganines (dihydroceramides) levels are lower during ceramide synthase inhibition. They are intermediates of ceramide and dihydrosphingolipids synthesis. Treatment of MCF7 cancer cells with fenretinide alters sphingolipid metabolism.

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
