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.
The invention relates to inhibitors of Sphingosine Kinase enzymatic activity, and methods of treating diseases and disorders by administering inhibitors of Sphingosine Kinase enzymatic activity.
