Abstract:To investigate the chemical constituents of longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) seeds, a ceramides molecular species (compounds 12) were isolated from petroleum ether extract and a cerebroside molecular species (compounds 36) from the w(ethanol)=95% extract on longan seeds by silica gel column chromatography, Their structures were identified on the basis of physical and chemical properties and spectral analysis. compounds 12 and compounds 36 isolated identified as: Rel-(3S,4S,5S)-3-[(2′R)-2′-hydroxydocosylamino]-4-hydroxy-5-[(4′′Z)-tetradecane -4′′ -ene]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrofuran(1), Rel-(3S,4S,5S)-3-[(2′R)-2′-hydroxytetracosanoyl- amino]-4-hydroxy-5-[(4′′Z)-tetradecane-4′′-ene]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrofuran(2), 1-O-β-D- glucopyranosyl-(2S,3S,4R,8E)-2-[2′-hydroxylignoceroylamino]-8-octadecene-1,3,4- triol(3), 1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S,3S,4R,8Z)-2-[2′-hydroxylignoceroylamino]-8- octadecene-1,3,4-triol(4), 1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S,3S,4R,8E)-2-[2′-hydroxyldoc- osylamino]-8-octadecene-1,3,4-triol(5), 1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S,3S,4R,8Z)-2-[2′ - hydroxydocosylamino]-8-octadecene-1,3,4-triol(6).
