In order to study calcium ion complex of soya-cerebroside II (1), an ionophoretic glucosylceramide isolated from soybean, C8-cerebroside (3) and 3,3″,6″-trideoxy-C8-cerebroside (4) are designed and synthesized. On the basis of extensive 1H-NMR studies in the presence of Ca2+ and a continuous variation method via 1H-NMR, soya-cerebroside II is suggested to form a calcium complex with 1/Ca2+ ratio of 1 : 1. Soya-cerebroside II serves as a tridentate chelating ligand for Ca2+; the amide carbonyl, C2′-hydroxy, and C2″-hydroxy oxygens are responsible for the Ca2+ binding. Soya-cerebroside II is structurally analogous to a neural glucosylceramide. Thus, the accumulated neural glucosylceramide inside of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane may serve as an endogenous Ca2+-binding and -transport molecule (ionophore) that result in mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular calcium stores.
为了研究从大豆中分离出来的一种离子型葡糖基甘油酰胺--大豆脑苷脂 II(1)的钙离子络合物,设计并合成了 C8-脑苷脂(3)和 3,3″,6″-三脱氧-C8-脑苷脂(4)。大豆脑苷脂 II 是 Ca2+ 的三叉螯合配体;酰胺羰基、C2′-羟基和 C2″- 羟基氧原子负责与 Ca2+ 结合。大豆脑苷脂 II 在结构上类似于神经葡萄糖甘油酰胺。因此,内质网(ER)膜内积累的神经葡萄糖甘油酰胺可能是一种内源性 Ca2+ 结合和转运分子(ionophore),可导致从细胞内钙库中调动 Ca2+。
