Ceramidase

Ceramidases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of ceramide, dihydroceramide, and phytoceramide into sphingosine (SPH), dihydrosphingosine (DHS), and phytosphingosine (PHS), respectively, along with a free fatty acid. Ceramide catabolism is controlled by ceramidases that are pivotal in the pathophysiology of these diseases of altered lipid homeostasis such as Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes-induced insulin resistance, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Ceramidases are classified into the acid, neutral, and alkaline ceramidase subtypes according to the pH optima for their catalytic activity.

    C6 Urea Ceramide
    Inhibitor
    C6 Urea Ceramide (Cer(d18:1/6:0) Urea) is an inhibitor of neutral ceramidase. C6 Urea Ceramide increases total ceramide levels in wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and HT-29 colon cancer cells. C6 Urea Ceramide (5-10 μM) inhibits proliferation of HT-29 cells and induces apoptosis and autophagy, but is not toxic to non-cancerous cells. C6 Urea Ceramide decreases total and phosphorylated β-catenin levels in HT-29 and HCT116 cells, and induces colocalization of β-catenin with the 20S proteasome. C6 Urea Ceramide (1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg) reduced tumor growth and increased C16, C18, C20, and C24 ceramide levels in tumor tissues in the HT-29 mouse xenograft model.
