- Product Overview:
Neutral sphingomyelinases mediate the release of ceramide from sphingomyelin in cellular membranes and can be activated by certain stresses. Ceramide can act as a signaling molecule in its own right, or it can be further processed to generate sphingosine (and sphingosine-1-phosphate). GW 4869 is an inhibitor of neutral sphingomyelinase (IC50 = 1 ?M).{17163} It is selective for neutral sphingomyelinase over acid sphingomyelinase at concentrations up to 150 ?M as well as B. cereus PC-PLC, human lyso-PAF PLC, and bovine PP2A at 10 ?M. GW 4869 inhibits TNF-?-induced sphingomyelin hydrolysis by 100% when used at a concentration of 20 ?M and TNF-?-induced cell death in MCF-7 cells.{17163,17164} It also reduces the inhibitory effects of oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (OxPAPC) and the 5-keto-6-octendioic acid ester of 2-lysophosphatidylethanolamine (KOdiA-PE) on LPS-induction of IL-8 in human aortic endothelial cells.{17165} In vivo, GW 4869 (1 mg/kg) reverses hypoxia-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction in rats.{17166}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
