A6770 is an inhibitor of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) lyase.1It induces accumulation of [3H]sphinganine-1-phosphate ([3H]dhS1P), an S1Plyase substrate, in IT-79MTNC3 cells that endogenously express high levels of S1Plyase (EC50= <0.01 μM), an effect that is reduced in the presence of vitamin B6(EC50= <100 μM). 1.Ohtoyo, M., Tamura, M., Machinaga, N., et al.Scintillation proximity assay to detect the changes in cellular dihydrosphingosine 1-phosphate levelsLipids51(10)1207-1216(2016)
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lipid crucial in numerous signaling pathways, undergoes irreversible degradation by membrane-bound S1Plyase, producing (E)-2-Hexadecenal, a derivative of sphingolipid breakdown. This compound can be oxidized to (2E)-hexadecenoic acid by long-chain fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase before being activated through linkage to coenzyme A. Notably, (E)-2-Hexadecenal induces cytoskeletal reorganization, leading to cell rounding, detachment, activation of JNK pathway targets, and ultimate apoptosis in a variety of cell types. Furthermore, it readily forms aldehyde-derived DNA adducts through reactions with deoxyguanosine and DNA.
