Use of synthetic fluorescent ceramide molecules allows the discovery of the first selective drug-like smallmoleculeinhibitors for alkaline ceramidase 3, an intra-membrane enzyme involved in sphingolipid metabolism in health and disease. These inhibitors represent a new paradigm for controlling lipid metabolism with drug-like smallmolecules targeting conformationally dynamic membrane proteins.
