The phospholipid distribution in the mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis was investigated by fractionation of the lipid extract with silica-gel column chromatography followed by qualitative and quantitative thin-layer chromatography. The results obtained show that choline and ethanolamine phosphoglycerides are the major phospholipids in this species and that they amount to about 50% and 30% of total phospholipids, respectively. The amount of ceramide 2-aminoethylphosphonate in this species is 7.5% of the total phospholipids and this compound is the main phosphonolipid in this species. The glyceryl ether derivatives of both choline and ethanolamine phosphoglycerides are found to be very high. Nearly half (45%) of the choline phosphoglycerides is glyceryl ether in nature while 15% of the ethanolamine phosphoglycerides is also of this type.

Acetyl glyceryl ether phosphorylcholine (AGEPC) is a chemical that has the biological activity of what was formerly termed platelet-activating factor. We report here that synthetic AGEPC induces the contraction of guinea pig ileal smooth muscle. Antagonists of histamine, acetylcholine, and slow-reacting substances (SRS) do not block AGEPC-induced contraction. These responses were long lasting, resistant to washing, and displayed complete agonist specific desensitization. Histamine- and SRS-induced contractions were unaffected by AGEPC. These studies show that AGEPC has the potential to produce a component of anaphylactically induced smooth muscle contraction.
