Abstract

Two new N-acylsphingosines (ceramides) named longifoamide A {6′-tetracosenamide, (6′- Z )- N -[2,3-dihydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)octadecyl]} and B {6′-tetracosenamide, (6′- Z )- N -[2,3,4-trihydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)octadecyl]} were isolated from a methanol extract of Mentha longifolia . Both ceramides were characterized with the aid of 1D and 2DNMR spectroscopic techniques and high resolution mass spectrometry.
