title: A new mechanism for photo- and radiation-induced decomposition of sphingolipids.
abstract: Data have been obtained showing regularities in product formation following radiolysis of serinol, lysosphingomyelin and photolysis of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)hexanamide, sphingomyelin, which point to the possibility of photo- and radiation-induced destruction of the named substrates via a C-C bond rupture. The key stage of this process is the formation and decomposition of N-centered radicals generated from the starting compounds.
