SK1-I hydrochloride (BML-258 hydrochloride), an analog of sphingosine, is an isozyme-specific competitive SPHK1 inhibitor with a Ki value of 10 μM. SK1-I hydrochloride shows no activity at SPHK1 PKCα, PKCδ, PKA, AKT1, ERK1, EGFR, CDK2, IKKβ or CamK2β. SK1-I hydrochloride enhances autophagy and has antitumor activity[2].IC50 & Target:Ki: 10 μM (SPHK1)In Vitro: SK1-I hydrochloride (0-10 μM; 24 hours) attenuates cancer cell growth and survival in a TP53-dependent manner in HCT116 cells and HCT116 cells bearing TP53 null cancer[2].
SK1-I hydrochloride (0-20 μM; 12 hours) induces more CASP3 cleavage in HCT116 cells, compared to HCT116 cells lacking TP53, leading to a hallmark of apoptosis[2].In Vivo: Pre-treatment with SK1-I hydrochloride (BML-258 hydrochloride; intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection; once; 24 hours prior to baseline mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) measurement; 75 mg/kg) before anandamide (i.v. injection; two doses; 1 and 10?mg/kg) significantly decreases the hypotensive response.
