Bioactivity | Ceranib-2 is a potent and nonlipid ceramidase inhibitor that inhibits cellular ceramidase activity with an IC50 of 28 μM in SKOV3 cells. Ceranib-2 induces the accumulation of multiple ceramide species, decreases levels of sphingosine and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), and induces cell apoptosis. Anticancer activity[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Ceranib-2 (10 nM-10 µM; 72 hours; SKOV3 cells) treatment inhibits cell proliferation and/or survival with an IC50 value of 0.73 μM[1].Ceranib-2 (0.75-1.5 µM; 48 hours; SKOV3 cells) treatment causes accumulation of cells in the sub-G1 (apoptosis), G2 and S (0.75 μM only) phases of the cell cycle, concomitant with reductions in the number of cells in G1 phase[1].Ceranib-2 produces a dose-dependent decrease in ceramidase activity, with 50% inhibition at 28 μM, induces the accumulation of multiple ceramide species, and decreases levels of sphingosine and S1P[1].
