Abstract
A process for novel sphingolipids and other secondary sphingosine-based compounds is provided which comprises the culturing of an appropriate fungus, harvesting mycelium from the fungus and isolating the sphingolipid from the mycelium. The sphingosine-based materials inhibit protein kinase C, provide an anti-inflammatory effect or provide an anti-tumor effect; furthermore, these sphingosine-based materials provide protection for plants against pathogenic microorganisms.
