Preparation of deacetyl-, lyso-, and deacetyl-lyso-GM3 by selective alkaline hydrolysis of GM3 ganglioside

Three methods (using GM3 quantities ranging from a few milligrams to grams) have been developed to prepare, in high yield, the three derivatives of ganglioside GM3 [α-Neu5Ac-(2-3)-β-Gal-(1-4)-β-Glc-(1-1)-ceramide]: deacetyl-GM3 [α-Neu-(2-3)-β-Gal-(1-4)-β-Glc-(1-1)-ceramide], lyso-GM3 [α-Neu5Ac-(2-3)...
