Biological target:
SKI 5C is an inhibitor of sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1; IC50 = 3.3 μM). It is selective for SPHK1 over SPHK2 at 10 μM and PKC at concentrations less than 100 μM. SKI 5C inhibits SPHK1 activity by 70% in U937 cells when used at a concentration of 5 μM.
In vitro activity:
SKI 5C may act as new candidate drug for Wilms' tumor. Treatment with SKI-5C inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis of SK-NEP-1 and G401 cells in a dose-dependent manner. SKI 5C-treated SK-NEP-1 cells mostly downregulated PRKACA and significantly inhibited phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and NF-κB p65, implying that SKI 5C induces apoptosis of SK-NEP-1 cells through the PRKACA/MAPK/NF-κB pathway.

In vivo activity:
SKI 5C has potential in the treatment of endometriotic lesions. In mice, SKI 5C significantly inhibited the development and vascularization of peritoneal endometriotic lesions, when compared to vehicle-treated controls. Endometriotic lesions in dorsal skinfold chambers of SKI 5C-treated mice exhibited a significantly smaller lesion size, lower functional microvessel density, smaller microvessel diameters and a reduced blood perfusion of the newly developing microvascular networks.

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
