HIDE SMILES / InChI
Sphingosine harbors two chiral centers and therefore exhibits four stereoisomers, only one of which, the D-erythro (2S,3R) is known to exist naturally. ERYTHRO-SPHINGOSINE, (±)- is a mixture of two isomers: inactive ERYTHRO-SPHINGOSINE, (+)- and the active ERYTHRO-SPHINGOSINE, (-), also known as D-erythro (2S,3R)-SPHINGOSINE or D-erythro –SPHINGOSINE. It was found, that D-erythro –SPHINGOSINE acts as a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C and of transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7). Besides, was shown, that sphingosine may be efficacious against alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, irrespective of TP53 mutation status. It also could evolve as alternative treatment options for aggressive lymphomas via PKC inhibition, apoptosis, and autophagy.

Route of Administration: Unknown
Exogenous addition of D-erythro-sphingosine inhibited the responses in a concentration-dependent manner in the two cell lines: PC12 and L929. D-erythro-sphingosine significantly inhibited mastoparan-, but not Na3VO4-, stimulated arachidonic acid release in PC12 cells. D-erythro-S1P showed no effect on the responses. Production of prostaglandin F2alpha was suppressed by D-erythro-sphingosine (10 microM) in PC12 cells.
