- Product Overview:
SKI 178 is an inhibitor of sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) and SPHK2.{41966} Though previously thought to be selective for SPHK1, cellular thermal shift assay results demonstrate direct target engagement of both SPHK1 and SPHK2 in HEK293 cells overexpressing either SPHK1 or SPHK2. It inhibits SPHK1 by 59.6% when used at a concentration of 10.7 µM and inhibits the production of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P; Item No. 62570) in A549 cells.{41964} SKI 178 is cytotoxic to a variety of cancer cell lines including PANC-1, A549, U251, and MCF-7 cells (IC50s = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 1.3 µM, respectively). It prolongs mitosis and induces cell death through the intrinsic apoptotic pathway in a CDK1-dependent manner.{41965} SKI 178 (20 mg/kg every other day) reduces the number of white blood cells to a normal range and increases survival in an MLL-AF9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) mouse xenograft model.{41966} It also destabilizes and inhibits microtubule polymerization in an SPHK-independent manner.
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.
