ST1060 is a Ceramide synthase 2 ( CerS2 ) inhibitor. ST1060 reduces the levels of long-chain dihydroceramide (dhCer) produced by CerS2 catalysis, with IC 5 0 values of 63.6 μM and 61.3 μM for C24:0 and C24:1, respectively. ST1060 is applicable to the research of ceramide metabolism disorders and cervical cancer [1].
In Vitro, ST1060 (preincubated for 10 min, reacted for 30 min) inhibits the synthesis of long-chain dihydroceramides (C24:0-dhCer, C24:1-dhCer) by targeting CerS2 in the microsomal fraction of HCT-116 cells, with IC50 values of 63.6 μM and 61.3 μM, respectively[1]. ST1060 (25 μM; pre-incubated for 10 minutes, reacted for 30 minutes) specifically inhibits CerS2 activity in lysates of HCT-116 cells overexpressing CerS2, as evidenced by a significant reduction in the production of C24:0 and C24:1-dhCer[1]. ST1060 (30 μM) significantly reduces the levels of long-chain dihydroceramides (C24:0-dhCer, C24:1-dhCer) in HeLa cervical cancer cells, confirming its targeted action on CerS2[1]. ST1060 (10-70 μM; 48 h) inhibits C14:0-ceramide synthesis in HeLa cervical cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 45.1 μM after 48 h of treatment, while increasing the level of long-chain ceramides[1]. ST1060 (0-80 μM; 48 h) increases the cell viability of HCT-116 colon cancer cells and induces their proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner following 48 h of treatment[1].
