Viable TAPS

Tetraacetylphytosphingosine is a sphingolipid metabolite produced through the acetylation of plant sphingosine. It functions as an angiogenesis inhibitor by suppressing the activation of MAPK and increasing intracellular calcium ions. Additionally, Tetraacetylphytosphingosine induces apoptosis in HaCaT cells. Tetraacetylphytosphingosine (TAPS) is an important bioactive compound,It has various physiological activities such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. TAPS is a natural product that is commonly found in plants . The molecular structure formula of TAPS is C34H67NO6, which is a sphingosine molecule. Compared with other sphingosine analogues, TAPS has a four fold structure.Acetylated products therefore have stronger biological activity. Its molecular structure contains long-chain fatty acids and functional groups such as sphingosine, making it possess Good lipophilicity and biocompatibility. This is also one of the important reasons why TAPS is widely used in the fields of medicine and cosmetics.
