Ganglioside GM1 and its seven potential catabolic products: asialo-GM1, GM2, asialo-GM2, GM3, Lac-Cer, Glc-Cer and Cer, were labeled with tetramethylrhodamine (TMR) to permit ultra-sensitive analysis using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection. The preparation involved acylation of the homogenous C18lyso-forms of GM1, Lac-Cer, Glc-Cer and Cer with the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of a β-alanine-tethered 6-TMR derivative, followed by conversion of these labeled products using galactosidase, sialidase, and sialyltransferase enzymes. The TMR–glycolipid analogs produced are detectable on TLC down to the 1 ng level by the naked eye. All eight compounds could be separated within 4 min in capillary electrophoresis where they could be detected at the zeptomole (ca. 1000 molecule) level using LIF.
