A number of intact neutral glycosphingolipids (globo, asialoganglio, neolacto, and gala series), gangliosides, and sulfatide were analyzed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) using dimethyl-d6 sulfoxide as a solvent at different conditions of measurement. The chemical shifts of amide proton of ceramide, N-acetylhexosamine and sialic acid moieties were positioned with regularity, thus providing their molar composition. The chemical shifts of amide proton in ceramide moiety differed with respect to constituent fatty acids; delta 7.45 to 7.52 ppm at 25 degrees C for the nonhydroxy acids and 7.32 to 7.42 ppm for the hydroxy acids. The chemical shifts of methyl proton in N-acetyl group were distinguished between N-acetylhexosamine and N-acetylneuraminic acid, and those in N-acetylgalactosamine were discriminated between neutral glycolipids and gangliosides. In the presence or absence of D2O in dimethyl sulfoxide at 110 degrees C, the anomeric protons resonated with regularity characteristic of respective monosaccharide linkages, and the anomeric protons of N-acetylgalactosamine in neutral glycolipids and gangliosides were clearly distinguished. The present study thus demonstrates the general applicability of NMR procedure to glycosphingolipids, providing the determination of chemical composition of both the lipophilic and carbohydrate moieties and the structural elucidation.
