Safingol, the synthetic L-threo-stereoisomer of endogenous (D-erythro-) sphinganine, is an inhibitor of protein kinase C and sphingosine kinase in vitro, and in some cell types has been implicated in ceramide generation and induction of apoptosis. Safingol inhibits enzymatic activity and 3H-phorbol dibutyrate binding of purified rat brain PKC (IC50 = 37.5 uM and 31uM, respectively). Inhibits human PKCα, the major overexpressed isoenzyme in MCF-7 DOXR cells (IC50 = 40 uM). Safingol enhances the cytotoxic effect of the chemotherapeutic agent Mitomycin C (MMC) in gastric cancer cells by promoting drug-induced apoptosis. Safingol is an inhibitor of SphK (Sphingosine kinase). Safingol has been shown to act synergistically with other chemotherapeutic agents and may potentiate chemotherapy drug-induced apoptosis in vitro and in vivo.

Solid Tumor treatment: Drug: Fenretinide (4-HPR) plus Intravenous Safingol
A course for this study is defined as the 5 days of treatment with Fenretinide (4-HPR) plus Safingol followed by 16 days of rest. A course is repeated every 21 days if there is no clinical evidence of disease progression for a maximum of six 5-day infusions.
Days 1-5 of every cycle: Day 1 Fenretinide (4-HPR) intravenous emulsion: 600 mg/m2 for 24 hours Given concurrently (at the same time) with: Safingol intravenous 210 mg/m2 for 24 hours Day 2 Fenretinide (4-HPR) intravenous emulsion: 1000 mg/m2 for 24 hours Given concurrently (at the same time) with: Safingol intravenous 210 mg/m2 for 24 hours Days 3-5 Fenretinide (4-HPR) intravenous emulsion: 1000 mg/m2 continuously for 3 days Days 8 and 15.
