Glycolipids are lipids with a carbohydrate attached by a glycosidic (covalent) bond. Their role is to maintain the stability of the cell membrane and to facilitate cellular recognition, which is crucial to the immune response and in the connections that allow cells to connect to one another to form tissues.

6,6′-Trehalose dioleate (6,6′-TDO) is a glycolipid extensively used for in vivo and in vitro mRNA delivery. This compound effectively encapsulates mRNA encoding hemagglutinin A (HA) from influenza A virus for use within lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), enhancing the secretion of Ifn-γ, Il-2, and Tnf-α from isolated murine spleen cells. When administered via intramuscular injection in mice, LNPs containing 6,6′-TDO predominantly accumulate in the liver and spleen. Unlike LNP formulations without 6,6′-TDO, those containing 6,6′-TDO do not reduce serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) or elevate levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), troponin I, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Additionally, these LNPs enhance the serum titers of IgG1 and IgG2a antibodies in mice.

Ganglioside GM1 asialo is a component of cellular lipid rafts and can be formed by the cleavage of the sialic acid residue from ganglioside GM1 by neuraminidase. Ganglioside GM1 asialo is a glycolipid receptor for P. aeruginosa flagellin and stimulates defensive responses in host cells, including extracellular ATP release, calcium mobilization, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation when stimulated by flagellin and an anti-ganglioside GM1 asialo antibody. The percentage of ganglioside GM1 asialo-positive natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T cells in lung is increased in a mouse model of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection compared with healthy animals. Depletion of ganglioside GM1 asialo-positive NK and T cells reduces IFN-γ levels in the lung, reduces weight loss, and increases lung viral load in RSV-infected mice. Ganglioside GM1 asialo mixture contains ganglioside GM1 asialo molecular species with C18:1 and C20:1 sphingoid backbones.

C16 3'-sulfo galactosylceramide (d18:1/16:0) inhibits retinal ganglion cell growth in vitro. C16 3'-sulfo galactosylceramide (d18:1/16:0) has been used as an internal standard for quantifying C16 3'-sulfo galactosylceramide (d18:1/16:0) in rat cerebellum and white matter isolated from patients with multiple sclerosis. reference for sulphides.

Tetracosanoyl-sulfatide is an endogenous sulfated glycolipid, which are also known as sulfatides . Tetracosanoyl-sulfatide is the major sulfatide in mature myelin in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Levels of Tetracosanoyl-sulfatide are elevated in plasma derived from patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy, a disorder characterized by arylsulfatase A deficiency, leading to sulfatide accumulation. Unlike C24:1 3'-sulfo galactosylceramide, it does not induce an immune response in mouse splenocytes in vitro.

Ascr#7 is a small-molecule glycolipid pheromone secreted by Caenorhabditis elegans, belonging to the ascaroside family. These compounds are often referred to as "dauer pheromones" and serve as critical chemical signals regulating development, social behavior, and stress responses in nematodes. The expression of Ascr#7 is strongly dependent on diet and developmental stage. Its primary biological function is to induce the formation of long-lived and highly stress-resistant dauer larvae. This mechanism allows nematodes to arrest normal development and enter a specialized diapause state for survival during adverse environmental conditions such as food scarcity or high population density.

In a tape-stripping test with isolated rabbit ear skin, LNPs with 6-trehalose monooleate encapsulating cyclosporin A predominantly accumulate in the stratum corneum rather than the epidermis and dermis. Additionally, 6-trehalose monooleate serves as an anti-aggregation agent for proteins.

Hydrangeic acid is an orally effective stilbene-type glycolipid metabolism regulator that lowers blood glucose and lipids. This compound can be isolated from processed leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla var. thunbergii. It is linked to glucose-lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity regulation. Hydrangeic acid does not directly activate PPARγ or PPARα; instead, it enhances the mRNA expression of adiponectin, PPARγ2, GLUT4, and fatty acid-binding protein aP2 while reducing TNF-α mRNA levels, thereby promoting adipogenesis, glucose uptake, and GLUT4 translocation in 3T3-L1 cells. Additionally, it suppresses the production of NO induced by inflammatory factors, improving insulin resistance. Hydrangeic acid is useful for research related to type 2 diabetes and does not cause liver weight gain.
