n,ndimethyl sphinganine (d18:0)

N,N-dimethyl Sphinganine (d18:0) is a sphingolipid that increases during development ofL. donovanipromastigotes.1 1.Silva, A.M., Cordeiro-da-Silva, A., and Coombs, G.H.Metabolic variation during development in culture of Leishmania donovani promastigotesPLoS Negl. Trop. Dis.5(12)e1451(2011)

D-threo Sphinganine (d18:0) is a synthetic bioactive sphingolipid and stereoisomer of sphinganine (d18:0) and L-erythro sphinganine (d18:0) . It induces autophagy in HCT116 cells when used at a concentration of 12 μM. D-threo Sphinganine (d18:0) is metabolized via sphinganine N-acyltransferase and sphinganine kinase in vivo in rat liver.
