From the sponge M. incrustans, two cerebrosides and a polar glycolipid were isolated.78 Both cerebrosides contain galactose and sphingosine, but differ in the nature of their fatty acids the less polar cerebroside contains normal, and the more polar, monohydroxy, acids. The structure of the polar glycolipid was not established, but it was shown to contain sphingosine, fatty acids, galactose, arabinose, fucose, and phosphorus.78... 

Chemical investigation of an extract of the soft coral Nephthea spp. showing antiviral activity against the Ranikhet disease virus in vitro afforded wax esters, cholesterol, 1-O-alkyl-glycerols and fatty acids [111]. Another glycolipid derived from a marine sponge, a-galactosylceramide. Fig. (18) is currently in human clinical trials as an...
