Abstract:
A structural studies have been performed on new complex glycolipids extracted from hog gastric mucosa by 0.4 M sodium acetate in methanol-chloroform-water, and which were purified to homogeneity by DEAE-Sephadex and Florisil column chromatography and by preparative thin-layer chromatography in three solvent systems. Five branched fucolipids have been purified from this extract, three of which have been characterized previously [1] and remaining two were subject of this investigations. Based on the results of partial acid hydrolases, oxidation with periodate and chromium trioxide, permethylation and serological activities following structures were proposed:Fucolipid IVa
