Ibiglustat (Venglustat) succinate is an orally active, brain-penetrant inhibitor of glucosylceramidesynthase (GCS). It is utilized in the investigation of Gaucher disease type 3, Parkinson's disease associated with GBA mutations, Fabry disease, GM2 gangliosidosis, and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
Glucosylceramidesynthase-IN-3 (compound BZ1) is a highly potent, brain-penetrant, and orally active inhibitor of glucosylceramidesynthase (GCS), exhibiting an IC50 value of 16 nM for human GCS. This compound, designated as Glucosylceramidesynthase-IN-3, finds potential applications in Gaucher's disease research [1] [2].
