ABSTRACT
Monohexosylceramides of Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes have been isolated and analyzed by thin-layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. 90.9% of the parasite fraction was galactosylceramide; glucosylceramide was present at only 9.1%. The most important fatty acids were normal C160 and C260 fatty acids. The hydroxylated fatty acids of the ceramide part constituted 20.1% of the total, their major constituents were C180 and C260. The sphinganine accounted for 70.4% of long-chain bases, phytosphingosine and sphingosine were also detected. The importance of the long chain fatty acids and the presence of sphinganine in the monohexosylceramide fraction were discussed.
