Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although much is known about lameness application of metabolomics technologies to better understanding its etiology and pathogenesis is of utmost interest. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate serum metabolite alterations in pre-lame, lame and post-lame dairy cows in order to identify potential screening serum metabolite biomarkers for lameness and better understand its pathobiology. METHODS A combination of direct injection and tandem mass spectrometry (DI-MS/MS) with a reverse-phase liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis was performed in the serum of six cases of lameness and 20 healthy control cows (CON) at - 8 and - 4 weeks prepartum, at lameness diagnosis week, and at + 4 and + 8 weeks postpartum. RESULTS Data indicated that pre-lame, lame, and post-lame cows experienced altered concentrations of multiple metabolites. It is interesting to note that throughout the 16-weeks of the study, 7 serum metabolites [e.g., diacyl-phosphatidylcholine (PC aa) C30:0, phosphatidylcholine acyl-alkyl (PC ae) C40:2, sphingomyelin (SM) (OH) C14:1, SM C18:0, isoleucine (Ile), leucine (Leu), and lysine (Lys)] differentiated CON cows from the lame ones. Furthermore, 4 metabolic pathways (i.e., Lys degradation, biotin metabolism, tryptophan (Trp) metabolism, and valine [(Val)-Leu-Ile degradation) were altered in cows with lameness during the onset and progression of the disease. CONCLUSION Multiple metabolite and pathway alterations were identified in the serum of pre-lame, lame, and post-lame cows that through light into the pathobiology of the disease and that can be used as potential biomarker sets that can predict the risk of lameness in dairy cows.

Abstract
We synthesized novel PET (photoinduced electron transfer)-type fluorescence glucose probe 1 [(4-(anthracen-2-yl-carbamoyl)-3-fluorophenyl)boronic acid], which has a phenylboronic acid (PBA) moiety as the recognition site and anthracene as the fluorescent part. Although the PBA derivatives dissociate and bind with sugar in the basic condition, our new fluorescent probe can recognize sugars in the physiological pH by introducing an electron-withdrawing fluorine group into the PBA moiety. As a result, the pK a value of this fluorescent probe was lowered and the probe was able to recognize sugars at the physiological pH of 7.4. The sensor was found to produce two types of fluorescent signals, monomer fluorescence and dimer fluorescence, by forming a supramolecular 2:1 complex of 1 with glucose inside a γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CyD) cavity. Selective ratiometric sensing of glucose by the 1/γ-CyD complex was achieved in water at physiological pH.

Abstract
The first catalytic, broadly applicable, efficient, γ-, diastereo-, and enantioselective method for addition of O-substituted allyl-B(pin) compounds to phosphinoylimines (MEM=methoxyethoxymethyl, pin=pinacolato) is presented. The identity of the most effective catalyst and the optimal protecting group for the organoboron reagent were determined by consideration of the steric and electronic requirements at different stages of the catalytic cycle, namely, the generation of the chiral allylboronate, the subsequent 1,3-borotropic shift, and the addition step. Aryl-, heteroaryl-, alkenyl- and alkyl-substituted vicinal phosphinoylamido MEM-ethers were thus accessed in 57-92 % yield, 89:11 to >98:2 γ:α selectivity, 76:24-97:3 diastereomeric ratio, and 90:10-99:1 enantiomeric ratio. The method is scalable, and the phosphinoyl and MEM groups may be removed selectively or simultaneously. Utility is highlighted by enantioselective synthesis of an NK-1 receptor antagonist.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids are an important component of cell membranes that are involved in many biological processes. Fluorescently labeled glycosphingolipids are frequently used to gain insight into their localization. However, the attachment of a fluorophore to the glycan part or-more commonly-to the lipid part of glycosphingolipids is known to alter the biophysical properties and can perturb the biological function of the probe. Presented here is the synthesis of novel glycosphingolipid probes with mono- and disaccharide head groups and ceramide moieties containing fatty acids of varying chain length (C4 to C20). These glycosphingolipids bear an azide or an alkyne group as chemical reporter to which a fluorophore can be attached through a bioorthogonal ligation reaction. The fluorescent tag and any linker connected to it can be chosen in a flexible manner. We demonstrate the suitability of the probes by selective visualization of the plasma membrane of living cells by confocal microscopy techniques. Whereas the derivatives with the shorter fatty acids can be directly applied to HEK 293T cells, the hydrophobic glycosphingolipids with longer fatty acids can be delivered to cells using fusogenic liposomes.

Abstract
Dihydroceramide desaturase (Des1) is the last enzyme in the de novo synthesis of ceramides (Cer). It catalyzes the insertion of a double bond into dihydroceramides (dhCer) to convert them to Cer, both of which are further metabolized to more complex (dihydro) sphingolipids. For many years dhCer have received poor attention, mainly due to their supposed lack of biological activity. It was not until about ten years ago that the concept that dhCer might have regulatory roles in biology emerged for the first time. Since then, multiple publications have established that dhCer are implicated in a wide spectrum of biological processes. Physiological and pathophysiological functions of dhCer have been recently reviewed. In this review we will focus on the biochemical features of Des1 and on its inhibition by different compounds with presumably different modes of action.

Abstract
An inclusion complex consisting of a boronic acid fluorophore (C1-APB) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CyD) acts as a supramolecular sugar sensor whose response mechanism is based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the excited pyrene to the boronic acid. We have investigated the PET process in C1-APB/CyD complexes by using time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements at room temperature, and have succeeded in estimating the electron-transfer time to be about 1 ns. We have also studied the effects of CyDs on the PET process by comparing two kinds of CyDs (α-CyD, β-CyD) under different water-dimethyisulfoxide (DMSO) concentration conditions. We found that the CyDs interacting with the boronic acid moiety completely inhibits PET quenching and increases the monomer fluorescence intensity.

Abstract
A boronic acid fluorophore (C1-APB)/boronic acid-modified γ-cyclodextrin (3-PB-γ-CyD) complex as a supramolecular sensor has been designed for selective glucose recognition in water. The fluorescent response behavior of the C1-APB/3-PB-γ-CyD complex under various pH conditions revealed that a C1-APB/3-PB-γ-CyD complex solution containing glucose showed a large increase in the fluorescence intensity under alkaline pH conditions. In contrast, only small increases in the fluorescence intensity were noted for fructose and without sugar solutions. The observed response selectivity for the C1-APB/3-PB-γ-CyD complex was on the order of glucose >> galactose, mannose > fructose. The evidence on a large value of the inclusion constant (K(L·CyD) = 6.5 × 10(3) M(-1)), a marked broadening of the (1)H NMR spectra, and an enhancement of induced circular dichloism (ICD) intensity for the C1-APB/3-PB-γ-CyD complex by glucose binding supported the multi-point interaction of the C1-APB/3-PB-γ-CyD complex with glucose. These results demonstrated that the C1-APB/3-PB-γ-CyD complex functioned as an efficient supramolecular sensor for selective glucose recognition in water.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are a wide family of lipids that share common sphingoid backbones, including (2S,3R)-2-amino-4-octadecane-1,3-diol (dihydrosphingosine) and (2S,3R,4E)-2-amino-4-octadecene-1,3-diol (sphingosine). The metabolism and biological functions of sphingolipids derived from sphingosine have been the subject of many reviews. In contrast, dihydrosphingolipids have received poor attention, mainly due to their supposed lack of biological activity. However, the reported biological effects of active site directed dihydroceramide desaturase inhibitors and the involvement of dihydrosphingolipids in the response of cells to known therapeutic agents support that dihydrosphingolipids are not inert but are in fact biologically active and underscore the importance of elucidating further the metabolic pathways and cell signaling networks involved in the biological activities of dihydrosphingolipids. Dihydroceramide desaturase is the enzyme involved in the conversion of dihydroceramide into ceramide and it is crucial in the regulation of the balance between sphingolipids and dihydrosphingolipids. Furthermore, given the enzyme requirement for O₂ and the NAD(P)H cofactor, the cellular redox balance and dihydroceramide desaturase activity may reciprocally influence each other. In this review both dihydroceramide desaturase and the biological functions of dihydrosphingolipids are addressed and perspectives on this field are discussed.

Abstract
Heterocyclic analogs of ceramide as 3-alkanoyl or benzoyl-4-(1-hydroxy-2-enyl)-oxazolidin-2-ones were designed by binding of primary alcohol and amide in sphinogosine backbone as a carbamate. They were synthesized by addition of acyl halide to the common ring 4-(1-t-butyldimethylsilyloxyhexadec-2-enyl)-oxazolidin-2-one which was elaborated from chiral aziridine-2-carboxylate including stereoselective reduction and ring opening reactions as key steps. Other analogs with different carbon frame at C4 position which is corresponding to the sphingoid backbone were prepared from 3-cyclopentanecarbonyl-4-(1-t-butyldimethylsilyloxybut-2-enyl)-oxazolidin-2-one and straight and cyclic alkenes by cross metathesis. All compounds were tested as antileukemic drugs against human leukemia HL-60 cells. Many of them including propionyl, cyclopentanoyl and p-nitrobenzoyl-4-(1-hydroxyhexadec-2-enyl)-oxazolidin-2-ones showed better antileukemic activities than natural C2-ceramide with good correlation between cell death and DNA fragmentation. There is a drastic change of the activities by the carbon chain lengths at C4 position. Cytotoxicity was induced by caspase activation without significant accumulation of endogenous ceramide concentration or any perturbation of ceramide metabolism.

Abstract
The conformationally based piperidinone sphingosine analogues 7, 8, 15, and 16 were synthesized from allylic alcohol 34 via lactams 31 and 32. The L-arabino diol 7 and the L-ribo diol 8 were transformed into the amino alcohols 17-24. The L-gluco ceramide analogues 43, 46a, and 47, and the L-altro ceramide analogues 51a and 52 were synthesized from either 31 or 32. The L-ribo diols 8 and 16, and the amino alcohols 19 and 20 inhibit sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1), while the L-arabino analogues 7, 15, 17, and 18 are inactive. The L-arabino and the L-ribo dimethylamines 21-24, the L-gluco ceramide analogues 43, 46a, and 47, and the L-altro ceramide analogues 51a and 52 did not block SPHK1. Neither the L-arabino diol 7 nor the L-ribo diol 8 inhibited SPHK2 or ceramide kinase. The L-arabino diols 7 and 15 stimulate invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells when presented by living antigen-presenting cells (APC) and also by plate-bound human CD1d, whereas the L-ribo diols 8 and 16, the L-arabino amino alcohols 17-18, and the dimethylamines 21-22 did not activate iNKT cells. The L-gluco ceramide analogues 43, 46a, and 47 had strongly stimulatory effects on iNKT cells when presented by living APC and also by plate-bound human CD1d, whereas the L-altro ceramide analogue 52 activated only weakly. All activatory compounds induced preferentially the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, indicating the formation of a stable CD1d--lipid--T-cell receptor complex.

Abstract
The analogues 7-9 of 7-oxaceramide and 7-oxasphingosine were synthesized from the known azidosphingosine 21. The 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole analogues 10-16 of ceramides were synthesized by the click reaction of the known azide 24. None of the analogues 7-15 was active as inhibitor of SPHK type 1 and of acid sphingomyelinase, whereas 16 is a weak inhibitor of SPHK1. Triazoles 10, 11, and 15 did not inhibit ceramide phosphorylation by CerK, and none of 7, 8, and 10-15 activated invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell clones when presented by human CD1d-transfected antigen-presenting cells (APC) or by plate-bound human CD1d [55]. Triazoles 14 and 15 prevent binding of alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer) to plate-bound human CD1d and subsequent T-cell response to alpha-GalCer. Only 15 reduced activation by alpha-GalCer significantly and independently of the cytokine measured.

Abstract
Sphingolipids comprise an important group of biomolecules, some of which have been shown to play important roles in the regulation of many cell functions. From a structural standpoint, they all share a long 2-amino-1,3-diol chain, which can be either saturated (sphinganine), hydroxylated at C4 (phytosphingosine), or unsaturated at C4 (sphingosine) as in most mammalian cells. N-acylation of sphingosine leads to ceramide, a key intermediate in sphingolipid metabolism that can be enzymatically modified at the C1-OH position to other biologically important sphingolipids, such as sphingomyelin or glycosphingolipids. In addition, both ceramide and sphingosine can be phosphorylated at C1-OH to give ceramide-1-phosphate and sphingosine-1-phosphate, respectively. To better understand the biological and biophysical roles of sphingolipids, many efforts have been made to design synthetic analogues as chemical tools able to unravel their structure-activity relationships, and to alter their cellular levels. This last approach has been thoroughly studied by the development of specific inhibitors of some key enzymes that play an important role in biosynthesis or metabolism of these intriguing lipids. With the above premises in mind, the aim of this review is to collect, in a systematic way, the recent efforts described in the literature leading to the development of new chemical entities specifically designed to achieve the above goals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sphingolipids belong to the most important constituents of the membranes of eukaryotic cells. As intermediates in sphingolipid metabolism, sphingosine and its N-octadecanoyl-derivative, ceramide, exhibit a variety of biological functions. These compounds play a crucial role in many essential biological processes such as cell growth, cell differentiation, cell recognition and apoptosis. More specifically, sphingolipids are crucial e.g. for the function of the skin because they contribute to the formation of the water permeability barrier consisting of a highly organized multilaminar lipid matrix of free fatty acids, cholesterol and ceramides containing additional hydroxyl groups in the sphingosin part and longer fatty acid amide functions. RESULTS In a short synthetic route (2S,3S)-4-fluorosphingosine and 4-fluoroceramide, the fluorinated analogues of the natural products, D-erythro-sphingosine and ceramide, have been prepared. The key step of the synthetic sequence is an asymmetric aldol reaction of (Z)-2-fluorohexadec-2-enal, prepared in three steps from tetradecanal, with an enantiopure N-protected iminoglycinate. Deprotection of the imino function and reduction of the ester group led to the 4-fluorosphingosine, which on acetylation with stearoyl chloride gave 4-fluoroceramide. After careful HPLC purification of the latter compound its phase behavior was investigated by Langmuir film balance technique and compared to that of natural ceramide. While the isotherms are quite similar in shape, they differ significantly in the starting point of increasing film pressure (56 or 67 A(2)/molecule) and in the film collapse pressure (38 or 56 mN/m) for ceramide and 4-fluoroceramide, respectively. Moreover, the hysteresis curves are very different. While consecutive isothermic compression - expansion cycles are reversible for the 4-fluoro derivative, substantial substance loss into the subphase or irreversible formation of multi-layers was observed for natural ceramide. CONCLUSIONS Asymmetric aldol reaction proved to be successful for the preparation of enantiopure 4-fluoroceramide. Surface/pressure isotherms and hysteresis curves of ceramide and its 4-fluoro derivative showed that the presence of fluorine leads to stronger intermolecular interactions between the hydrophobic chains of neighboring molecules, and therefore to increasing stability of the monolayer of 4-fluoroceramide at the air water interface.

Abstract
Cell surface glycoproteins have been known to play very important roles in various physiologic and pathologic processes. Small molecule compounds capable of carbohydrate recognition can be very useful for the development of sensing, diagnostic, and therapeutic agents. Along this line, we are interested in developing water-soluble fluorescent boronic acid compounds for carbohydrate recognition. As such, a series of benzo[b]thiophene boronic acid derivatives have been synthesized and their fluorescent properties analyzed at physiologic pH. Benzo[b]thiophene derivatives were found to be a new type of fluorescent reporter compounds capable of dual fluorescent emission under physiologic pH conditions. Compounds 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 showed unusual emission wavelength shifts upon binding of sugars. These boronic acids will be useful tools for building glycoprotein biosensors for biologic applications.

Abstract
Asperamides A (1) and B (2), a sphingolipid and their corresponding glycosphingolipid possessing a hitherto unreported 9-methyl-C20-sphingosine moiety, were characterized from the culture extract of Aspergillus niger EN-13, an endophytic fungus isolated from marine brown alga Colpomenia sinuosa. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods as (2S,2'R,3R,3'E,4E,8E)-N-(2'-hydroxy-3'-hexadecenoyl)-9-methyl-4,8-icosadien-1,3-diol (1) and 1-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S,2'R,3R,3'E,4E,8E)-N-(2'-hydroxy-3'-hexadecenoyl)-9-methyl-4,8-icosadien-1,3-diol (2). In the antifungal assay, asperamide A (1) displayed moderate activity against Candida albicans.

Abstract
Ceramides are sphingolipids that greatly stabilize ordered membrane domains (lipid rafts), and displace cholesterol from them. Ceramide-rich rafts have been implicated in diverse biological processes. Because ceramide analogues have been useful for probing the biological function of ceramide, and may have biomedical applications, it is important to characterize how ceramide structure affects membrane properties, including lipid raft stability and composition. In this report, fluorescence quenching assays were used to evaluate the effect of analogues of ceramide with different N-acyl chains or different sphingoid backbones on raft stability and sterol content. The effect of replacing 18 mol% of sphingomyelin (SM) with ceramide in vesicles composed of a 1:1 (mol:mol) mixture of SM and dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), with or without 25 mol% sterol, was examined. In the absence of sterol, the thermal stability of the SM-rich ordered domains increased with ceramide N-acyl chain length in the order C2:0 approximately C6:0 approximately C8:0<no ceramide<C12:0<C16:0. In vesicles containing 25 mol% cholesterol (1:1:0.66 sphingolipid:DOPC:cholesterol), the dependence of raft stability on ceramide N-acyl chain length increased in the order C8:0 approximately C6:0<C2:0<C12:0 approximately no ceramide<C16:0. We also studied the stability of lipid rafts in the presence of N-lauroyl- and N-palmitoylsphingosine analogues containing altered structures in or near the polar portion of the sphingoid base. In almost all cases, the analogues stabilized rafts to about the same degree as a normal ceramide containing the same acyl chain. The only exception was N-palmitoyl-4D-ribophytosphingosine, which was very strongly raft-stabilizing. We conclude that variations in sphingoid base structure induce only insignificant changes in raft properties. N-Lauroyl and N-palmitoylsphingosine and their analogues displaced sterol from rafts to a significant degree. Both C12:0 and C16:0 analogues of ceramide may be good mimics of natural ceramide, and useful for cellular studies in which maintenance of the normal physical properties of ceramide are important.

Abstract
Human diseases caused by alterations in the metabolism of sphingolipids or glycosphingolipids are mainly disorders of the degradation of these compounds. The sphingolipidoses are a group of monogenic inherited diseases caused by defects in the system of lysosomal sphingolipid degradation, with subsequent accumulation of non-degradable storage material in one or more organs. Most sphingolipidoses are associated with high mortality. Both, the ratio of substrate influx into the lysosomes and the reduced degradative capacity can be addressed by therapeutic approaches. In addition to symptomatic treatments, the current strategies for restoration of the reduced substrate degradation within the lysosome are enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), cell-mediated therapy (CMT) including bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and cell-mediated "cross correction", gene therapy, and enzyme-enhancement therapy with chemical chaperones. The reduction of substrate influx into the lysosomes can be achieved by substrate reduction therapy. Patients suffering from the attenuated form (type 1) of Gaucher disease and from Fabry disease have been successfully treated with ERT.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are a family of lipids that play essential roles both as structural cell membrane components and in cell signalling. The cellular contents of the various sphingolipid species are controlled by enzymes involved in their metabolic pathways. In this context, the discovery of small chemical entities able to modify these enzyme activities in a potent and selective way should offer new pharmacological tools and therapeutic agents.
