How to use

In Vitro:

P053 is the first isoform-specific ceramide synthase inhibitor. P053 inhibits CerS1 with nanomolar potency. P053 inhibits different human (h) or murine (m) CerS isoforms hCerS1, mCerS1, hCerS2, mCerS2, hCerS4, mCerS5, and hCerS6 with IC50s of 0.54±0.06, 0.46±0.08, 28.6±0.15, 18.5±0.12, 17.2±0.09, 7.2±0.10, and 11.4±0.17 μM, respectively.

In Vivo:

P053 (5 mg/kg; administered daily by oral gavage; 7 days, in male C57BL6/J mice ) reduces C18 ceramide levels in skeletal muscle (SkM) . Daily P053 administration to mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) increases fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle and impedes increases in muscle triglycerides and adiposity, but does not protect against HFD-induced insulin resistance.
