Ly93 is a selective and orally active sphingomyelin synthase 2 (SMS2) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 91 nM[1]. Ly93 (100 mg/kg, i.g. once daily for 7 days) significantly decreases the plasma SM levels of C57BL/6J mice[1].Ly93 dose-dependently attenuates the atherosclerotic lesions in the root and the entire aorta as well as macrophage content in lesions, in apolipoprotein E gene knockout mice[1].
