Biochem/physiol Actions

Adamantyl galactosylceramide (adaGalCer), a glycosphingolipid (GSL) analog, modulates abnormal GSL turnover. It functions as an inhibitor and an alternative substrate to regulate cellular GSL metabolism in a particular manner. AdaGalCer blocks cell sulfatide synthesis and microsomal globotriaosyl ceramide (Gb3) synthesis. It reduces glucosylceramide (GlcCer) levels in normal and lysosomal storage disease (LSD) cells.

Mammalian glycosphingolipid (GSL) precursor monohexosylceramides are either glucosyl- or galactosylceramide (GlcCer or GalCer). Most GSLs derive from GlcCer. Substitution of the GSL fatty acid with adamantane generates amphipathic mimics of increased water solubility, retaining receptor function. We have synthesized adamantyl
Adamantyl glycosphingolipids provide a new approach to the selective regulation of cellular glycosphingolipid metabolism
