A new glycosphingolipid, sulcaceramide ( 1a ), has been isolated as its peracetate ( 1b ) from the marine ascidian Microcosmus sulcatus , and its structure elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical analysis. The unprecedented trisaccharide chain present in 1a is a rare example of a fucosylated carbohydrate moiety encountered as a constituent of glycosphingolipids isolated from marine invertebrates.
