(1R,3S)-HPA-12 is a ceramide (Cer) analog that acts as a Cer transporter (CERT) antagonist and selectively inhibits cellular Cer conversion to sphingomyelin (SM), but not to glucosylceramide, by blocking CERT-mediated Cer ER-to-Golgi transport. Common culture dosing range: 1-10 μM.
Ceramide transporter (CERT) antagonist that inhibits Cer-to-sphingomyelin (SM) conversion by blocking CERT-mediated ceramide ER-to-Golgi transport.

Inflammation within the CNS is a major component of many neurodegenerative diseases. A characteristic feature is the generation of microglia-derived factors that play an essential role in the immune response. IL-1β is a pro-inflammatory cytokine released by activated microglia, able
In response to Berkeš's report revising the stereochemistry of HPA-12, an important ceramide-trafficking inhibitor that was discovered and synthesized and its stereochemistry determined in 2001, the synthesis and the stereochemistry were reinvestigated. A large-scale synthetic method for HPA-12 based on

Ceramide produced at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is transported to the lumen of the Golgi apparatus for conversion to sphingomyelin (SM). N-(3-Hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-3-phenylpropyl)dodecanamide (HPA-12) is a novel analog of ceramide. Metabolic labeling experiments showed that HPA-12 inhibits conversion of ceramide to
The assembly of new herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) particles takes place in the nucleus. These particles then travel across the two nuclear membranes and acquire a final envelope from a cellular compartment. The contribution of the cell to the
The practical stereodivergent route to both syn- and anti-diastereomers of 1-substituted 3-aminobutane-1,4-diols based on the crystallization-induced asymmetric transformation (CIAT) approach was completed. This led to the revision of the reported stereochemistry of the first inhibitor of CERT-dependent ceramide trafficking HPA-12
