An SPHK1 activator
K6PC-5 is a sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) activator.1,2,3 It activates SPHK1 in F9-12 teratocarcinoma cell lysates and isolated murine blood in a concentration-dependent manner.1 K6PC-5 (25 and 50 µM) induces calcium oscillations in HaCaT keratinocytes. It inhibits cell death induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells when used at a concentration of 10 µM.2 Topical administration of K6PC-5 (1%) increases stratum corneum integrity and corneodesmosome density in a mouse model of photoaging induced by long-term exposure to ultraviolet A (UVA) and UVB radiation.3
