Abstract
Three O-acetylated gangliosides, G1, G2, and G3, were purified from bovine buttermilk by using chloroform/methanol extraction, Folch partitioning, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-25, and Iatrobeads columns. The final yields of gangliosides G1, G2, and G3 were 2 mg, 37 mg, and 40 mg per 1.7 kg of the buttermilk powder, respectively. On the basis of immunostaining on high performance thin layer chromatography with specific monoclonal antibodies, mild alkaline treatment, gas-liquid chromatographic analysis, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance studies, G1 and G2 are characterized as O-acetylated GD3 and G3 as O-acetylated GT3, and the structures of these gangliosides are as follows: [formula: see text] The major fatty acids of these gangliosides were C18:0, C22:0, C23:0, and C24:0, and the long chain base was C18-sphingosine.
