Abstract
Several GM3 derivatives were synthesized which can be classified as follows: Lyso-G M3 derivatives with variation in the chain length of the fatty acid of the ceramide residue. NeuNH-G M3 derivatives which are modified at the 5-amino group of the neuraminic acid residue. G M3 -COOH derivatives altered at the carboxyl group of the neuraminic acid with concomitant loss of the negative charge. The structures of all these ganglioside derivatives were assured by FAB mass spectrometry.
