SphK1
SK1-I hydrochloride specifically targets sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1, SphK1), an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine to sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). S1P is a bioactive lipid that promotes cell survival, proliferation, and angiogenesis. SK1-I hydrochloride is a competitive inhibitor of SPHK1 with respect to sphingosine and has a Ki value of 10 uM. It is highly selective for SPHK1 over SPHK2 (no activity) and over a wide range of other protein kinases. |

| ln Vitro |
In HCT116 cells and HCT116 cells expressing TP53 null tumors, SK1-I hydrochloride (0-10 μM; 24 hours) attenuates cancer cell proliferation and survival in a TP53-dependent manner[2]. Compared to HCT116 cells without TP53, SK1-I hydrochloride (0–20 μM; 12 hours) causes more CASP3 cleavage in HCT116 cells, resulting in a characteristic of apoptosis[2].
In vitro, SK1-I hydrochloride is a sphingosine analog that acts as a selective, competitive, and isozyme-specific inhibitor of sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) with a Ki value of 10 uM. It shows no activity against SPHK2, PKCalpha, PKCdelta, PKA, AKT1, ERK1, EGFR, CDK2, IKKbeta, or CamK2beta. SK1-I hydrochloride (0-10 uM; 24 hours) attenuates cancer cell growth and survival in a TP53-dependent manner in HCT116 cells. In HCT116 cells bearing TP53 null cancer, SK1-I hydrochloride (0-10 uM; 24 hours) reduces cell viability. SK1-I hydrochloride (0-20 uM; 12 hours) induces more CASP3 cleavage in HCT116 cells compared to HCT116 cells lacking TP53, leading to a hallmark of apoptosis. The compound enhances autophagy and has antitumor activity. |
| ln Vivo |
The hypotensive response is greatly reduced when SK1-I hydrochloride (BML-258 hydrochloride; intraperitoneal (ip) injection; once; 24 hours previous to baseline mean arterial blood pressure (MAP); 75 mg/kg) is administered before anandamide (iv injection; two doses; 1 and 10 mg/kg)[3].
In vivo, pre-treatment with SK1-I hydrochloride (BML-258; intraperitoneal injection; 75 mg/kg; once; 24 hours prior to baseline mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) measurement) significantly lowers baseline MAP in male C57BL/6 mice. The compound has been used to study the role of sphingosine kinase 1 in blood pressure regulation. Additional in vivo antitumor efficacy data would be expected based on its in vitro activity, but specific studies are not detailed in the search results. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The specific protocol for SPHK1 inhibition uses an in vitro radiometric kinase assay. Recombinant human SPHK1 (10 ng) is incubated in assay buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.1% Triton X-100, 10% glycerol) containing 10 uM sphingosine (dissolved in 0.1% fatty acid-free BSA), 10 uM ATP, and 0.2 uCi [gamma-32P]-ATP. SK1-I hydrochloride is serially diluted (0.1-1000 uM) in DMSO (final DMSO concentration <1%) and added to the reaction. The reaction is allowed to proceed for 30 minutes at 37degC. The reaction is terminated by adding 20 uL of 5% perchloric acid. The reaction mixture is extracted with 200 uL of chloroform/methanol/HCl (100:100:1). The organic phase is separated, and radioactivity is quantified by liquid scintillation counting. The Ki value (10 uM) is calculated from the concentration-response curve using the Cheng-Prusoff equation. A control assay with SPHK2 is performed to confirm selectivity.

Cell Viability Assay[2]
Cell Types: HCT116 cells and HCT116 cells bearing TP53 null cancer Tested Concentrations: 0 µM, 2.5 µM, 5 µM, 7.5 µM, 10 µM Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: diminished cancer cell growth and survival. Western Blot Analysis[2] Cell Types: HCT116 cells and HCT116 cells bearing TP53 null cancer Tested Concentrations: 0 µM, 5 µM , 10 µM, 20 µM Incubation Duration: 12 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Induced more CASP3 cleavage in HCT116 cells, compared to HCT116 cells lacking TP53. For in vitro cellular assays, HCT116 human colon carcinoma cells (wild-type and TP53 null) are seeded in 96-well plates at 5×103 cells/well. After 24 hours, cells are treated with SK1-I hydrochloride (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 uM) for 24-48 hours. Cell viability is assessed using the MTT assay or CellTiter-Glo. Apoptosis is measured by Caspase-Glo 3/7 assay (caspase-3/7 activation) or by Western blotting for cleaved CASP3. Autophagy is assessed by LC3-II accumulation (LC3B lipidation) by Western blot and by visualizing GFP-LC3 puncta if using reporter cells. The TP53-dependent nature of cell death is determined by comparing the responses in TP53 wild-type and TP53-null cells. For selectivity confirmation, cells overexpressing SPHK1 or SPHK2 are treated with SK1-I hydrochloride, and S1P production is measured by LC-MS/MS. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male C57BL/6 mice (24 ± 3.5 g)[3]
Doses: 75 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; once; 24 hrs (hours) prior to baseline MAP measurement Experimental Results: Dramatically lowered baseline mean arterial blood pressure (MAP). An in vivo protocol for SK1-I hydrochloride uses a mouse model to assess effects on blood pressure. Male C57BL/6 mice (24 +/- 3.5 g) are anesthetized, and a catheter is inserted into the carotid artery for continuous mean arterial pressure (MAP) monitoring. SK1-I hydrochloride is dissolved in a suitable vehicle (e.g., 10% DMSO/90% saline) and administered intraperitoneally as a single bolus injection at a dose of 75 mg/kg, 24 hours prior to baseline MAP measurement. Anandamide is then administered intravenously (1 and 10 mg/kg) to assess the effect of SK1-I pre-treatment on anandamide-induced hypotension. Baseline MAP is recorded before anandamide injection. SK1-I pre-treatment significantly reduces baseline MAP and alters the hypotensive response to anandamide, confirming in vivo target engagement of SPHK1. For antitumor efficacy, a xenograft mouse model would be used. Female nude mice are inoculated subcutaneously with HCT116 cells. When tumors reach ~100 mm3, mice are randomized and treated with SK1-I hydrochloride (50-100 mg/kg, i.p., daily) for 14-21 days. Tumor volumes are measured with calipers. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Detailed pharmacokinetic data for SK1-I hydrochloride is not available. As a sphingosine analog and competitive SPHK1 inhibitor, it is expected to be well absorbed and distributed to tissues. For in vivo studies, the compound is administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 75 mg/kg. A standard PK study in mice would involve IV (10 mg/kg) and IP (50 mg/kg) administration, followed by serial plasma sampling and LC-MS/MS analysis to determine T1/2, Cmax, AUC, and bioavailability. The compound is lipophilic (sphingosine analog) and is likely to cross cell membranes readily. Metabolism likely involves hepatic CYP450 enzymes and conversion to S1P analogs.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicity data for SK1-I hydrochloride is limited. It is described as a selective SPHK1 inhibitor with no activity against SPHK2 or a panel of other protein kinases, suggesting that off-target toxicity may be low. In vitro, SK1-I hydrochloride induces TP53-dependent cell death, indicating that TP53 status may influence the cytotoxic effects of the compound. In vivo, at a dose of 75 mg/kg (i.p.), no acute toxicity was reported in mice. Standard toxicity screening would include in vitro hERG channel inhibition testing, CYP450 enzyme inhibition screening, and a 7-day repeat-dose toxicity study in mice to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
