CompoundDescription
phosphorylethanolamineRN given refers to parent cpd; structure
ketodihydrosphingosineRN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation
sphingosineAn 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)
2-hexadecenal
sphingosine 1-phosphateRN given refers to (R-(R*,S*-(E)))-isomer; RN for cpd without isomeric designation not available 8/89
SerineA 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.
palmitoyl coenzyme aA fatty acid coenzyme derivative which plays a key role in fatty acid oxidation and biosynthesis.
mephentermineA sympathomimetic agent with specificity for alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. It is used to maintain BLOOD PRESSURE in hypotensive states such as following SPINAL ANESTHESIA.
paragloboside
