Description

Description générale

A cell permeable, symmetrical dihydroimidazolo-amide that acts as a potent, specific, and non-competitive inhibitor of neutral sphingomyelinase (N-SMase) (IC₅₀ = 1 µM, rat brain N-SMase). Reported to inhibit tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) induced sphingomyelin hydrolysis (100% inhibition at 20 µM) and TNF-α-induced cell death in MCF7 cells. Does not interfere with other TNF-α-mediated signaling events, such as de novo ceramide synthesis and NF-κB activation and nuclear translocation. Exhibits no effect on cellular glutathione levels that are normally reduced in response to TNF-α. Does not inhibit acid sphingomyelinase (A-SMase) or bacterial phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC). Shown to weakly inhibit bovine protein phosphatase 2_A (PP2_A) and human lyso-PAF PLC, an enzyme that hydrolyzes sphingomyelin in vitro.

A cell-permeable, symmetrical dihydroimidazolo-amide compound that acts as a potent, specific, non-competitive inhibitor of N-SMase (neutral sphingomyelinase) [IC₅₀ = ~ 1 µM, rat brain; K_m for sphingomyelin ~13 µM]. Does not inhibit human A-SMase (acid sphingomyelinase) even at 150 µM. Weakly inhibits the activities of bovine protein phosphatase 2A and mammalian lyso-PAF PLC, while no inhibition is observed for bacterial phosphatidylcholine-specific PLC. Reported to offer complete protection against TNF-α or diamine-induced cell death in MCF7 breast cancer cells at 20 µM. Does not modify the intracellular glutathione levels or interfere with TNF-α or diamine-mediated signaling effects.
