Bioactivity | Ibiglustat (Venglustat) L-Malic acid is an orally active, brain-penetrant glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) inhibitor. Ibiglustat L-Malic acid can be used for the research of Gaucher disease type 3, Parkinson's disease associated with GBA mutations, Fabry disease, GM2 gangliosidosis, and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Target | Glucosylceramide synthase. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Ibiglustat (SAR402671) (1 μM, 15 days) L-Malic acid treated Fabry disease (FD) cells are close to the physiological level in untreated WT cells in GL-3 levels, suggesting that Ibiglustat L-Malic acid can prevent additional GL-3 accumulation and could serve to ameliorate the abundant levels of this sphingolipid in FD cardiomyocytes[4]. | ||||||||||||
