(R)-FTY720 methyl ether is a specific sphingosine kinase 2 inhibitor: Effect on sphingosine kinase 2 expression in HEK 293 cells and actin rearrangement and survival of MCF-7 breast cancer cells

Abstract: Sphingosine kinase 2 (SK2) catalyzes the conversion of sphingosine to the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). We report here, the stereospecific synthesis of an analogue of FTY720 called (R)-FTY720-OMe, which we show is a competitive inhibitor of SK2. (R)-FTY720-OMe failed to inhibit sphingosine kinase 1 activity, thereby demonstrating specificity for SK2. Prolonged treatment of HEK 293 cells with (R)-FTY720-OMe also induced a reduction in SK2 expression. In addition, (R)-FTY720-OMe inhibited DNA sy… Show more

“…This represents another plausible explanation for a constantly high intracellular Fingolimod concentration in respective sub-compartments. Lim et al (2011) determined a K m value for SphK2 to phosphorylate FTY720 of about 5-10 μm. Therefore, it seems quite reasonable to assume that these high concentrations of FTY720-P are also reached in humans receiving Fingolimod for the treatment of MS.…”

“…FTY720 was synthesized with subsequent HPLC purification (47), and identity/purity was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. (S)-FTY720-OMe, OSU-2S, and (S)-FTY720-regioisomer were synthesized as described previously (48,49).…”

“…RB-005) (Baek et al, 2013). ABC294640 (French et al, 2010) and (R)-FTY720 methylether (ROMe) (Lim et al, 2011b) are SK2-selective inhibitors with K i values ~ 10 M. With the very recent resolution of the crystal structure of SK1 (Wang et al, 2103), it may now be possible to understand the mechanisms of action of these compounds and their selectivity for SK1. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 6 Allosteric inhibitors Allosteric inhibitors and activators might bind to unique allosteric sites in SK1 or alternatively, might induce cooperative effects with bound substrate.…”
