Biochem/physiol Actions

N,N-dimethyl glycine (DMG) diester prodrug form of the selective acid ceramidase (ACDase) inhibitor B13 for enhanced lysosomal delivery and cellular potency.



LCL521 is the N,N-dimethyl glycine (DMG) diester prodrug form of the selective acid ceramidase (ACDase) inhibitor B13 (no inhibition against NCDase/ASAH2 or AlkCDase/ACER2). The DMG enables efficient and targeted B13 lysosomal delivery, resulting in enhanced cellular ACDase inhibitory potency (by 70% vs 12% in MCF7, respectively, post 1h treatment by 1 μM LCL521 or 10 μM B13) and effective blockage of ceramide (Cer) to sphingosine (Sph) processing (80% vs 0% Sph level drop in MCF7, respectively, post 1h treatment by 1 μM LCL521 or 10 μM B13).

Radiation treatment failure or relapse after initial response to chemotherapy presents significant clinical challenges in cancer patients. Escape from initial courses of treatment can involve reactivation of embryonic developmental stages, with the formation of polynuclear giant cancer cells (PGCCs). This

Polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCC) represent a poorly understood, small subpopulation of tumor cells that are increasingly being recognized for their critical role in therapy resistance, metastasis, and cancer recurrence. PGCC have the potential to generate progeny through primitive or

Previous work utilizing proteomic and immunohistochemical analyses has identified that high levels of acid ceramidase (AC) expression confers a poorer response to neoadjuvant treatment in locally advanced rectal cancer. We aimed to assess the radiosensitising effect of biological and pharmacological
