RP-001 is a selective agonist of picomolar short-acting S1P1 (EDG1)(EC50 of 9 pM), has little activity on S1P2-S1P4 and only moderate affinity for S1P5.

CYM-5478 is a potent and selective S1P2 agonist. Under nutrient-deprivation stress produced by serum-starvation, CYM-5478 induced a significant increase in the viability of C6 cells in a dose dependent manner at concentrations above 100 nM.
Lysosphingomyelin is an endogenous bioactive sphingolipid and a constituent of lipoproteins.1,2It is produced by the removal of the acyl group from sphingomyelin by a deacylase and acts as a precursor in the biosynthesis of sphingosine-1-phosphate . D-erythroLysosphingomyelin is an agonist of the S1P receptors S1P1, S1P2, and S1P3(EC50s = 167.7, 368.1, and 482.6 nM, respectively, for the human receptors).3It is also an agonist of the orphan receptor ovarian cancer G protein-coupled receptor 1 (ORG1) that induces calcium accumulation in cells overexpressing OGR1 (EC50= ~35 nM).4Levels of D-erythrolysosphingomyelin are increased in skin isolated from patients with atopic dermatitis, as well as postmortem brain from patients with Niemann-Pick disease type A, but not type B.2,5L-threolysosphingomyelin is also an S1P1-3agonist (EC50s = 19.3, 131.8, and 313.3 nM, respectively).3This product is a mixture of D-erythroand L-threolysosphingomyelin.

C16 Sphingosine-1-phosphate (C16 S1P) is a derivative of sphingosine-1-phosphate that binds to S1P1/EDG-1, S1P3/EDG-3, and S1P2/EDG-5 receptors with affinities of 115%, 83%, and 103%, respectively, relative to S1P in CHO cells. C16 S1P was increased in postmortem primary open angle glaucoma trabecular meshwork samples.
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities including cell proliferation, survival, migration, cytoskeletal organization, and morphogenesis. It exerts its activity by binding to five distinct G protein-coupled receptors, S1P1 EDG-1, S1P2 EDG-5, S1P3 EDG-3, S1P4 EDG-6, and S1P5 EDG-8. W140 is an inactive enantiomer of W146, a selective S1P1 antagonist (Ki = 77 nM), that binds to the S1P1 receptor with a Ki of 4.6 μM (2a = W146; 2b = W140 in supplemental material). It exhibits no biological activity in vivo and can therefore serve as an effective control compound for experiments involving W146.
