General description

1-deoxysphingosine (1-deoxySO) has a (4E) double bond in its structure and is synthesized by the catabolism of 1-deoxyceramide in the presence of ceramidase enzyme. It is an unsaturated deoxy-sphingoid base.

Application

1-deoxysphingosine may be used for the complex preparation with bovine serum albumin for cytotoxicity testing of MN9D dopaminergic neuroblastoma cell line and dorsal root ganglion neurons cultures. It may also be used as a standard for quantification of spingolipids from human plasma samples by liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC−ESI−MS/MS).

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-deoxysphingosine levels are elevated in lymphoblasts in hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1 (HSAN1) disorder.

The 1-deoxysphingolipids (1-deoxySLs) are formed by an alternate substrate usage of the enzyme, serine-palmitoyltransferase, and are devoid of the C1-OH-group present in canonical sphingolipids. Pathologically elevated 1-deoxySL levels are associated with the rare inherited neuropathy, HSAN1, and diabetes type 2

Diabetic distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) is a frequent, disabling complication of diabetes mellitus. There is increasing evidence that sphingolipids play a role in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Whether neurotoxic 1-deoxy-sphingolipids are elevated in DSPN patients' plasma and
