Abstract

The invention concerns a novel phosphoglycolipid compound. The compound of the subject invention is 2-Deoxy-6-O-[2-deoxy-4-O-phosphono-3-O-[(R)-3-tetradecanoyloxytetradecanoy l]-2-[(R)-3-octadecanoyloxytetradecanoylamino]-.beta.-D-glucopyranosyl]-2-[ (R)-3-hexadecanoyloxytetradecanoylamino]-D-glucopyranose and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compound is not immunoreactive, not pyrogenic, not toxic but is active in ameliorating tissue damage due to ischemia/reperfusion injury. Methods for using the subject compound to protect against reversible and irreversible damage due to ischemia/reperfusion injury are also disclosed.
