Abstract
Datura metel, a plant well known for tropane alkaloids and with asteroids, yielded several sphingosine derivatives, one of which was characterised as (4E,8Z)-1-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-N-(2'-hydroxyhexadecanoyl)-sphinga-4,8- dienine from comprehensive spectral analysis of its hexaacetate. This is th e first report of the isolation of a cerebroside from Datura species.
