Abstract

A facile synthesis of a combinatorial ceramide library and their activities in the NF-kappaB pathway and in apoptosis induction/prevention were demonstrated. A novel NF-kappaB activating molecule was discovered among ceramide containing beta-galactose, and the structural requirements of ceramides for apoptosis induction was elucidated.
