Microbial Metabolite
Sphingolipid metabolism; specific targets may include sphingomyelinase, glucocerebrosidase, and signaling molecules such as protein kinase C (PKC) and ceramide-activated protein phosphatases. Cerebrosides function as signaling molecules regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Also involved in immune modulation and may act as antigens. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
No specific in vitro data available. Cerebrosides in general exhibit anti-tumor activity, inducing differentiation and apoptosis in cancer cell lines (HL-60 leukemia, MCF-7 breast). Immunomodulatory activities: activate NK cells and macrophages, enhance production of TNF-alpha, IL-12, IFN-gamma. Cerebroside D specifically has reported anti-tumor and immunomodulatory effects.
|
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo data available. Cerebrosides in general studied in animal models of cancer, showing anti-tumor effects in mice bearing sarcoma or leukemia xenografts. Also exhibit anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in models of neurodegenerative diseases. Cerebroside D expected to have similar activities, but specific studies not reported.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
No specific protocols. For general sphingolipid studies: (1) Ceramide quantification: extract lipids from cells/tissues, separate by TLC or HPLC, quantify by MS. (2) Glucocerebrosidase activity: incubate lysates with 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside substrate, measure fluorescence at 360/446 nm.
|
| Cell Assay |
(1) For cellular studies: seed immune cells (NK cells, macrophages) or cancer cells in 96-well plates. (2) Treat with Cerebroside D (1-100 uM) for 24-72 h. (3) For NK activation: treat NK cells (1-50 uM) for 24 h, co-culture with target cancer cells (K562), measure cytotoxicity by LDH release. (4) For macrophage activation: treat RAW 264.7 cells (1-50 uM) for 6-24 h, measure TNF-alpha, IL-12, IL-6 by ELISA. (5) For apoptosis: treat cancer cells (5-100 uM) for 48 h, stain Annexin V-FITC/PI, flow cytometry.
|
| Animal Protocol |
(1) For anti-tumor: use BALB/c nude mice (20-25 g) bearing sarcoma, leukemia, or breast cancer xenografts. (2) Administer Cerebroside D IP (10-50 mg/kg) daily for 14-21 days. (3) Formulation: 10% DMSO/40% PEG300/5% Tween-80/45% saline for IP. (4) Monitor tumor volume and body weight twice weekly. (5) At endpoint, excise tumors, weigh, histology (H&E, IHC for Ki-67, cleaved caspase-3), TUNEL. (6) For immune modulation: collect spleens, isolate NK cells and measure cytotoxicity; measure serum cytokines by ELISA. (7) For neuroprotection: use MPTP-induced Parkinson's mouse model, administer Cerebroside D (10-30 mg/kg IP daily for 7-14 days), perform behavioral tests and measure dopaminergic neuron survival.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Lipid, poorly soluble in water. For in vitro, dissolve in DMSO (10-50 mM stock), dilute into medium with 0.1-0.5% BSA or FBS to aid solubilization. For in vivo, formulate in 10% DMSO/40% PEG300/5% Tween-80/45% saline for IP. Storage: powder at -20degC for 3 years, protect from light and moisture.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In vitro: cerebrosides generally non-toxic at concentrations up to 100 uM in most cell types. In vivo: acute IP LD50 in mice typically >500 mg/kg. For research only.

| Additional Infomation |
Cerebroside D has been reported to be found in Albatrellus ellisii, Cortinarius lucorum, and other organisms with available data.
Cerebroside D is a glycosphingolipid isolated from natural sources (fungi, mushrooms). Cerebrosides are important structural components of cell membranes, especially in nervous system, involved in cell-cell recognition, signaling, and myelin stability. Function as second messengers in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis pathways. Studied for potential anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, and neuroprotective activities. Not FDA-approved; strictly for research in sphingolipid biology, cancer immunology, and neurodegenerative diseases. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
