Small molecule inhibitors of acid sphingomyelinase.
Despite of the importance of the acid sphingomyelinase for sphingomyelin homeostasis and sphingolipid signalling, potent and selective inhibitors for this enzyme are rare. An increasing set of data on the inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase in different disease models using indirect inhibitors has been generated and strongly implies acid sphingomyelinase as an emerging drug target. Very recentl...
متن کاملSmall-molecule inhibitors of the pseudaminic acid biosynthetic
19 Helicobacter pylori is motile by means of polar flagella and this motility has been shown to play 20 a critical role in pathogenicity. The major structural flagellin proteins have been shown to be 21 glycosylated with the nonulosonate sugar, pseudaminic acid (Pse). This glycan is unique to 22 microorganisms and the process of flagellin glycosylation is required for H. pylori flagellar 23 ass...
متن کاملSmall molecule inhibitors of ceramidases.
The equilibrium between the pro-apoptotic ceramide and pro-vital sphingosine-1-phosphate is considered to be decisive for cell death or survival. The different ceramidases thus play key roles in cell fate and might offer attractive targets for pharmacological intervention. Although until recently only moderately active inhibitors have been described, first in vivo experiments suggest activity a...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Inhibitors of CXCR4
CXCR4 is a G-protein-coupled receptor involved in a number of physiological processes in the hematopoietic and immune systems. The SDF-1/CXCR4 axis is significantly associated with several diseases, such as HIV, cancer, WHIM syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, pulmonary fibrosis and lupus. For example, CXCR4 is one of the major co-receptors for HIV entry into target cells, while in cancer it plays ...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Therapeutics Sunitinib and SU11652 Inhibit Acid Sphingomyelinase, Destabilize Lysosomes, and Inhibit Multidrug Resistance
Defective apoptosis signaling andmultidrug resistance aremajor barriers for successful cancer treatment. To identify drugs capable of targeting treatment-resistant cancer cells, we screened small-molecule kinase inhibitor libraries for compounds that decrease the viability of apoptosis-resistant human MCF7-Bcl-2 breast cancer cells. SU11652, a multitargeting receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, ...
