General description

(R)-FTY720-OMe is the analogue of FTY720.
(R)-FTY720-OMe is a structural analogue of FTY720 which acts as a specific competitive inhibitor of sphingosine kinase 2 (SK2). Furthermore, (R)-FTY720-OMe does not inhibit sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

(R)-FTY720-OMe helps to block DNA synthesis and actin rearrangement induced by sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. It can also reduce sphingosine kinase 2 (SK2) expression and prevent DNA synthesis in HEK 293 cells. (R)-FTY720-OMe has anti-breast cancer potential.

(R)-FTY720 methyl ether is a specific sphingosine kinase 2 inhibitor: effect on sphingosine kinase 2 expression in HEK 293 cells and actin rearrangement and survival of MCF-7 breast cancer cells

Sphingosine kinase catalyses the formation of sphingosine 1-phosphate and is linked with androgen receptor signalling in prostate cancer cells. Therefore, we investigated the effect of sphingosine kinase inhibitors on androgen receptor expression. Androgen-sensitive LNCaP cells were treated with SKi (2-(p-hydroxyanilino)-4-(p-chlorophenyl)thiazole)

Two isoforms of sphingosine kinase, SK1 and SK2, catalyze the formation of the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in mammalian cells. We have previously shown that treatment of androgen-sensitive LNCaP prostate cancer cells with a non-selective SK isoform inhibitor, 2-(p-hydroxyanilino)-4-(p-chlorophenyl)thiazole

Cellular signalling, 23(10), 1590-1595 (2011-05-31)
Sphingosine kinase 2 (SK2) catalyses the conversion of sphingosine to the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). We report here, the stereospecific synthesis of an analogue of FTY720 called (R)-FTY720-OMe, which we show is a competitive inhibitor of SK2. (R)-FTY720-OMe failed
