Ceramidase

Ceramidases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of ceramide, dihydroceramide, and phytoceramide into sphingosine (SPH), dihydrosphingosine (DHS), and phytosphingosine (PHS), respectively, along with a free fatty acid. Ceramide catabolism is controlled by ceramidases that are pivotal in the pathophysiology of these diseases of altered lipid homeostasis such as Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes-induced insulin resistance, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Ceramidases are classified into the acid, neutral, and alkaline ceramidase subtypes according to the pH optima for their catalytic activity.

    Acid Ceramidase-IN-3 is a acid ceramidase (aCDase) inhibitor. Acid Ceramidase-IN-3 inhibits the enzymatic activity of aCDase with a pIC 50 of 8.5 in enzymatic assays and 6.8 in A375 melanoma cellular assays. Acid Ceramidase-IN-3 promotes HSC inactivation, as measured by a dose-dependent reduction in COL1A1 and ACTA2. Acid Ceramidase-IN-3 inhibits aCDase activity in HSCs, promotes HSC inactivation and suppresses YAP/TAZ nuclear localization. Acid Ceramidase-IN-3 increases Dynein/Kinesin (NDE1, NDEL1. KIF3B, KIF15) while decreases several proteins involved with signaling pathway (SARM1, RGAP1, PDGF-D,PDGFR-B). Acid Ceramidase-IN-3 can be used for the study of fibrotic diseases.

    C6 Urea Ceramide
    Inhibitor
    C6 Urea Ceramide (Cer(d18:1/6:0) Urea) is an inhibitor of neutral ceramidase. C6 Urea Ceramide increases total ceramide levels in wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and HT-29 colon cancer cells. C6 Urea Ceramide (5-10 μM) inhibits proliferation of HT-29 cells and induces apoptosis and autophagy, but is not toxic to non-cancerous cells. C6 Urea Ceramide decreases total and phosphorylated β-catenin levels in HT-29 and HCT116 cells, and induces colocalization of β-catenin with the 20S proteasome. C6 Urea Ceramide (1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg) reduced tumor growth and increased C16, C18, C20, and C24 ceramide levels in tumor tissues in the HT-29 mouse xenograft model.
