The present invention belongs to the technical field of
biomedicine. Disclosed is an asiatic-acid-derived
ceramide, which has the structure of general formula (I) or an isomer of general formula I, wherein R1 is selected from one of the following structures in (II), and R2 is hydroxyl or a
hydrogen atom. Further disclosed in the present invention are a method for synthesizing the asiatic-acid-derived
ceramide and the use thereof. By means of the present invention, the
solubility of
ceramide is improved by means of introducing an
asiatic acid or
madecassic acid fragment with good
fat solubility, thereby facilitating the use of ceramide in formulations. The compound of the present invention exhibits a significant
inhibitory effect on inflammatory
cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6), and can also suppress the overexpression of TRPV1 receptors in
sensitive skin and significantly reduce the expression of
hyaluronidase, thereby achieving a good soothing effect.
