| Bioactivity | UGT8-IN-1 is a brain penetrable and orally active inhibitor of ceramide galactosyltransferase enzyme (UGT8). UGT8-IN-1 can be used in the study for lysosomal storage disorders[1]. |
| In Vivo | UGT8-IN-1 (compound 19) exhibits the T1/2 of 4.3 h, 1.13 h and 13.6 h by iv (1 mg/kg) administration in rat, mouse and dog, respectively. UGT8-IN-1 (compound 19) shows F% of 40%, 34% and 52% by oral (3 mg/kg) administration in rat, mouse and dog, respectively[1].UGT8-IN-1 (compound 19, orally twice a day for three days) shows ≥90% inhibition of incorporation of 13C-Gal into GalCer and SFT, at all three doses tested, with the estimated ED50s of 99%)[1]. |
