A vasodepressor phospholipid fraction purified from a lipid extract of bovine brain was found to contain novel phospholipids with both a long-chain acyl group and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid residue. This was shown by analyzing the fraction as tert-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives of glyceride by capillary GC-MS after hydrolysis with phospholipase C. Six molecular species with a palmitoyl group and an aliphatic dicarboxylate (chain length C4-C9), and two species with both a stearoyl group and a succinate or glutarate residue were detected.
