Bioactivity | D,L-erythro-PDMP is an erythro isomer of PDMP. D,L-erythro-PDMP causes growth inhibition of cultured rabbit skin fibroblasts. PDMP is an effective inhibitor of UDP-glucose:ceramide glucosyltransferase[1][2]. |
Invitro | D,L-erythro-PDMP (0, 12, 25, 50 μM; 0, 4, 7, 10 days) shows an inhibitory effect on cell growth of rabbit skin fibroblasts[1].D,L-erythro PDMP (50 μM; 3 days) has cytotoxic of rabbit skin fibroblasts on cell morphology[1].D,L-erythro-PDMP (40 μM; 24 h; MDCK cells) induces a marked increase in glucosyltransferase specific activity: 14.6 nmol/h per mg protein[2].D,L-erythro-PDMP (40 μM; 6 h) protects the cells against loss of synthase in cells exposed to cycloheximide[2].
