SKI-II

SKI-II is a selective non-lipid inhibitor of sphingosine kinase (IC50 = 0.5 μM). nhibits acute myelogenous leukemia cell growth in vitro and in vivo. SKI-II was more efficient than two known SphK1 inhibitors SK1-I and FTY720 in inhibiting AML cells. Meanwhile, it induced dramatic apoptosis in above AML cells, and the cytotoxicity by SKI-II was almost reversed by the general caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk. SKI-II treatment inhibited SphK1 activation, and concomitantly increased level of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) precursor ceramide in AML cells.

How to use

In Vitro:

SKI II inhibits cell proliferation by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. SKI II promotes the degradation of β-catenin by enhancing Wnt5A. SKI II (1.25 μM, 48 h) in combination with DDP has a clear synergistic effect in human gastric carcinoma SGC7901/DDP cell line.

In Vivo:

Chronic SKI II (50.0 mg/kg, 3-weekly i.p. for 16 weeks) administration leads to permanent reduction of S1P concentrations in plasma in mice. SKI II (50.0 mg/kg, IP; 100 mg/kg, PO) treatment reduces tumor growth in mice bearing solid tumor model.
