Sphingolipid and Ceramide Homeostasis: Potential Therapeutic Targets by Simon A. Young, John G. Mina, Paul W. Denny, Terry K. Smith

“…Recent research has identified and characterised many of the key enzymes involved in sphingolipid metabolism and this has led to a heightened interest in the possibility of targeting these processes for therapies against cancers, Alzheimer's disease, and numerous important human pathogens. In this paper we outline the major pathways in eukaryotic sphingolipid metabolism and discuss these in relation to disease and therapy for both chronic and infectious conditions.…”

Discovery of a parallel family of euglenatide analogs in Euglena gracilis by Ahmed H. Elbanna, Xinhui Kou, Dilip V. Prajapati, Surasree Rakshit, Rebecca A. Butcher

“…These compounds have antiproliferative activity against fungal pathogens and mammalian cancer cell lines. Analysis of E. gracilis extracts revealed that the algae produce not only the euglenatides, but also a corresponding family of analogs that have the same molecular weights as the euglenatides, but are lacking the characteristic triene chromophore. …”
