| Targets |
Ly93 targets sphingomyelin synthase 2 (SMS2), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ceramide to sphingomyelin. SMS2 is a key enzyme in sphingolipid metabolism and plays a role in the regulation of ceramide levels, which are important for cell signaling, apoptosis, and inflammation. Ly93 is a selective inhibitor with an IC50 of 91 nM.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Ly93 selectively inhibits SMS2 with an IC50 of 91 nM. By inhibiting SMS2, the compound increases ceramide levels and decreases sphingomyelin production, which can affect cell signaling pathways involved in inflammation and lipid metabolism. The compound's selectivity for SMS2 over other enzymes in the sphingolipid pathway makes it a valuable tool for studying SMS2 biology.

| ln Vivo |
In C57BL/6J mice, Ly93 (100 mg/kg, ig once daily for seven days) dramatically decreased plasma SM levels [1]. Ly93 dose-dependently reduced the amount of macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions and the lesions themselves in the root and entire aorta in apolipoprotein E knockout mice [1].
In vivo, Ly93 has been evaluated in preclinical models of atherosclerosis and other metabolic disorders. As an orally active SMS2 inhibitor, it has demonstrated efficacy in modulating sphingolipid metabolism and reducing atherosclerotic plaque formation. The compound's ability to increase ceramide levels while decreasing sphingomyelin may contribute to its anti-atherosclerotic effects. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for SMS2 inhibition involve incubating microsomal preparations containing SMS2 enzyme with ceramide and phosphatidylcholine in the presence of varying concentrations of Ly93. The production of sphingomyelin is measured using radioactive or LC-MS/MS methods. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves to determine the compound's potency.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays are performed using various cell lines, including macrophages and hepatocytes. Cells are treated with Ly93 at various concentrations, and sphingomyelin and ceramide levels are measured by LC-MS/MS. Inflammatory markers and lipid accumulation are assessed to evaluate the biological effects of SMS2 inhibition.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: C57BL/6J mouse[1].
Doses: 100 mg/kg. Route of Administration: IG (intragastric (po) (po)administration) one time/day for 7 days. Experimental Results: Plasma SM levels were Dramatically diminished compared to the vehicle group. Animal/Disease Models: ApoE KO mice (8 weeks old) [1]. Doses: 12.5 or 40 mg/kg. Route of Administration: IG (intragastric (po) (po)administration) one time/day. Experimental Results: There were no statistical changes in the plasma levels of ALT and AST in apoE KO mice compared with the control group. In vivo studies are conducted in mouse models of atherosclerosis, such as ApoE knockout mice fed a high-fat diet. Ly93 is administered orally at various doses. Serum lipid profiles, including cholesterol and triglyceride levels, are measured. Atherosclerotic plaque formation in the aorta is assessed by en face Oil Red O staining. Sphingomyelin and ceramide levels in tissues are measured by LC-MS/MS. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Ly93 (molecular weight 443.54, formula C₂₆H₂₉N₃O₄) is a small-molecule compound. It is orally active and soluble in DMSO. The compound is typically stored at -20°C. Its physicochemical properties support oral bioavailability and favorable drug-like characteristics.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Preclinical toxicity studies have evaluated Ly93 in animal models. As an SMS2 inhibitor, its toxicity profile is related to modulation of sphingolipid metabolism. No significant toxicity has been reported at therapeutic doses. The compound's safety profile supports its use in research applications for studying atherosclerosis and metabolic disorders.
