Compound	Description
phosphorylethanolamine	RN given refers to parent cpd; structure
ketodihydrosphingosine	RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation
sphingosine	An amino alcohol with a long unsaturated hydrocarbon chain. Sphingosine and its derivative sphinganine are the major bases of the sphingolipids in mammals. (Dorland, 28th ed)
sphingosine 1-phosphate	RN given refers to (R-(R,S-(E)))-isomer; RN for cpd without isomeric designation not available 8/89
n-palmitoylsphingosine	structure given in first source; RN given refers to (R,S-(E))-isomer
serine	A non-essential amino acid occurring in natural form as the L-isomer. It is synthesized from GLYCINE or THREONINE. It is involved in the biosynthesis of PURINES; PYRIMIDINES; and other amino acids.
n-stearoylsphingomyelin
palmitoyl coenzyme a	A fatty acid coenzyme derivative which plays a key role in fatty acid oxidation and biosynthesis.
dihydrosphingosine 1-phosphate	RN given refers to (R-(R,S))-isomer
mephentermine	A sympathomimetic agent with specificity for alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. It is used to maintain BLOOD PRESSURE in hypotensive states such as following SPINAL ANESTHESIA.
dihydroceramide	lacks the 4-5 trans double bond of the sphingosine moiety of ceramides; structure in first source
