一般描述

Phytosphingosine is a sphingoid base with hydroxyl group at the C4 position. It is highly found in plants and fungi. In addition, phytosphingosine is also present in mammalian epidermis, including the stratum corneum.

生化/生理作用

Phytosphingosine acts as a sphingoid backbone for phytoceramide, which is a yeast analogue of the mammalian ceramide. Phytosphingosine and its derivatives are allied with body′s natural defense system. These lipids prevent dehydration of skin, control epidermal cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. In addition, they also exhibit anti-bactericidal and anti-inflammatory activities. Thus, Phytosphingosine and its derivatives is essential for maintaining healthy skin. But, at high concentrations these compounds are toxic.
