Abstract:
A mixture of five new ceramides was isolated from the aerial parts of Rantherium suaveolens and characterized by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods as (2S,3S, 4R,2'R, 14E)-2-(2'-hydroxydocosanoylamino) - 14 - octadecene -1,3,4-triol (1), (2S,3S,4R,2'R, 14E)-2-(2'-hydroxytricosanoylamino)-14-octadecene-1,3,4-triol (2), (2S,3S,4R,2'R, 14E)-2-(2'-hydroxytetracosanoylamino)- 14 - octadecene - 1,3,4 - triol (3), (2S, 3S,4R,2'R, 14E) - 2 - (2'- hydroxypentacosanoylamino) - 14 - octadecene - 1,3,4-triol (4), and (2S,3S,4R,2'R,14E)-2-(2'-hydroxyhexacosanoylamino)-14-octadecene-1,3,4-triol (5).

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
