Six new cerebrosides (ceramide monohexosides), acanthacerebroside A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), E (5), and F (6) were isolated from the water-insoluble lipid fraction of the chloroform-methanol extract of the starfish Acanthaster planci.On the basis of chemical and spectral evidences, they were characterized as 1-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-substituted (2S,3S,4R)-2--1,3,4-hexadecanetriol (1), (2S,3S,4R)-2--1,3,4-docosanetriol (2), (2S,3S,4R,13Z)-2--13-docosene-1,3,4-triol (3), (2S,3R,4E,10E)-2--4,10-octadecadiene-1,3-diol (4), (2S,3R,4E,10E)-2--4,10-octadecadiene-1,3-diol (5), and (2S,3R,4E,10E)-2--4,10-octadecadiene-1,3-diol (6).Reversed-phase HPLC was effective to isolate these cerebrosides revealing the very close resemblance in structure.Negative FABMS spectrometry was useful in providing information on the molecular mass of the cerebrosides.
