N,N-Dimethylsphingosine
N,N-Dimethylsphingosine is an inhibitor of sphingosine kinase. It is a natural metabolite of sphingosine in some cancer cell lines and tissues. N,N-Dimethylsphingosine inhibited U937 cell sphingosine kinase with a Ki value of 3.1 µM. N,N-Dimethylsphingosine induces apoptosis, but it is not an inhibitor of protein kinase C. N,N-Dimethylsphingosine (DMS) has recently been identified as an inducer of pain in a rat model of chronic pain. (PMID: 22267119) It has properties similar to capsaicin (PMID: 16740613). Other studies have indicated that DMS inhibits airway inflammation in asthma (PMID: 18359884) and is cardioprotective (PMID: 16831409). N,N-Dimethylsphingosine is an inhibitor of sphingosine kinase. It is a natural metabolite of sphingosine in some cancer cell lines and tissues.1 N,N-Dimethylsphingosine inhibited U937 cell sphingosine kinase with a Ki value of 3.1 ?M.2 N,N-Dimethylsphingosine induces apoptosis, but it is not an inhibitor of protein kinase C.
