Application

4E,8Z-Sphingadiene has been used as an standard in liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) method for quantitation of chemopreventive sphingadienes in food products and biological samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphingadienes are growth-inhibitory sphingoid bases, which play a vital role in apoptosis and cell signaling. Sphingadienes isolated from plants exhibit anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α) activity.

General description

4E,8Z-Sphingadiene is a unique sphingoid base containing C18 chain, with trans double bond at C-4 and cis double bond at C8. It is widely present in plant tissues, but very minimal in mammals.
