Bioactivity | Lucerastat, the galactose form of Miglustat, is an orally-available inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS). Lucerastat has the potential for Fabry disease study[1][2]. |
Invitro | Fabry patient-derived fibroblasts with the genotypes R301G (residual -GalA activity; 20%) R220X (<3%) and W162X (<1%). Cell Viability Assay[2]. Cell Line: |
In Vivo | Lucerastat (1200 mg/kg/day food admix), a GCS inhibitor, reduces Gb3 in the absence of residual -GalA activity[2]. Animal Model: |
