Application

D609 has been used as a phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) inhibitor in mouse bone marrow derived monocytes. D609 has also been reported to significantly reduce the elevated levels of phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1 (PEBP1) in apolipoprotein E-/- mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

D609 can block the production of diacylglycerol (DAG) in the cell. D609 functions by inhibiting the phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of the phosphate bond present in phosphatidylcholine and other glycerophospholipids.
Phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PLC) and HIV-1 inhibitor. Xanthogenate derivative with in vitro anti-tumor activity.

Preparation Note

O-Tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-9-yl dithiocarbonate or D609 is soluble in water at 50 mg/ml and yields a clear to slightly hazy, colorless to light yellow solution. It is also soluble in acetone. However, it is insoluble in ether and hydrocarbons.

Alcoholic solutions should not be prepared due to the possibility of transesterification. The product is very labile in solution (1.5 days half-life in tissue culture medium) and is readily hydrolyzed below pH 6.0. Hence, solutions should be prepared immediately before use and unused solutions must be discarded. For tissue culture preparations, the media should be buffered to pH 6.0-7.5. HEPES buffer must not be used as it renders this product toxic.

Atherosclerosis is considered to be a chronic inflammatory disease. Previous research has demonstrated that phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) plays critical roles in various inflammatory responses. However, the association between PC-PLC and atherosclerosis is undetermined. Therefore, we sought to investigate whether

Sphingomyelin (SM) is an abundant phospholipid in cell membranes. However, owing to the lack of appropriate probes, the subcellular distribution of SM remains unclear. In this study, we examined the localization of SM in COS-1 cells (green monkey kidney cells)

We previously found that phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) was a key inducing element of atherosclerosis, and might negatively regulate human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) autophagy. To further investigate the mechanism of PC-PLC action, we initially identified phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein

Acquisition of mesenchymal characteristics confers to breast cancer (BC) cells the capability of invading tissues different from primary tumor site, allowing cell migration and metastasis. Regulators of the mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) may represent targets for anticancer agents. Accruing evidence supports
