A novel uronic acid-containing tri-glycosphingolipid (UGL-1) was isolated from the ascidian Halocynthia roretzi. The UGL-1 was prepared from chloroform/methanol extracts and purified by the use of successive column chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, Florisil and Iatrobeads. Chemical structural analysis was performed using methylation analysis, gas chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 1H-NMR spectra. The chemical structure of UGL-1 was determined to be a glucuronic acid-containing glycosphingolipid, Gal1-4(Fuc1-3)GlcA1-1Cer. The ceramide component was composed of C16:0, C18:0 acids and C16-, C17- and C18-phytosphingosines as major components.
