Ethanone, 1-[5-(hydroxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-

Biological Activity

A6770 is an inhibitor of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) lyase.1 It induces accumulation of [3H]sphinganine-1-phosphate ([3H]dhS1P), an S1P lyase substrate, in IT-79MTNC3 cells that endogenously express high levels of S1P lyase (EC50 = <0.01 μM), an effect that is reduced in the presence of vitamin B6 (EC50 = <100 μM).
