General description
C6 Ceramide (d18:1/6:0) is a short chain and a cell permeable ceramide. It comprises amino alcoholic chain attached to fatty acyl chain via an amide linkage.
Application
C6 Ceramide (d18:1/6:0) has been used as a chemotherapeutic agent to test its anti-tumor effect in breast cancer cells and ovarian cancer cell lines. It has also been used to test chemo-sensitization effects in cancer cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
C6 Ceramide (d18:1/6:0) is involved in inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. When used in combination with acid ceramidase inhibitor DM102, [(2R,3Z)-N-(1-hydroxyoctadec-3-en-2-yl)pivaloylamide], it favors cell death in human breast cancer cells lines. C6 Ceramide may serve as an adjunct in chemotherapy. It elicits anti-tumor effects via AKT (serine/threonine-specific protein kinase) dephosphorylation and α-tubulin acetylation.
