MedKoo CAT#: 581775

CAS#: 73257-80-4

Description: RV 538 is also known as DL-PDMP. It is a ceramide analog first prepared in a search for inhibitors of UGCG (glucosylceramide synthase). PDMP closely resembles the natural sphingolipid substrate of brain glucosyltransferase and acts as a potent and competitive inhibitor of this enzyme. Blocks the outgrowth of neurites and inhibits glycolipid synthesis in cultured NIH/3T3 cells.

Product Data:
Biological target: RV 538 inhibits glucosylceramide synthase, primarily through its D-threo (1R,2R) enantiomer, and inhibits β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 6, preventing lactosylceramide synthesis. RV 538 enhances the effectiveness of curcumin in inhibiting proliferation, activating JNK, inhibiting Akt, and inducing apoptosis in melanoma cells.
In vitro activity: High concentrations of RV 538 were observed to target lysosomes in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, leading to lysosomal enlargement after overnight incubation. RV 538exhibited toxicity at concentrations exceeding 30 microM. This property was leveraged to select RV 538-resistant CHO cells that demonstrated approximately twice the resistance to RV 538 compared to parental cells. RV 538 resistant cells also displayed resistance to other lipophilic drugs with titratable amino groups, indicating a distinct multidrug resistance mechanism from cells overproducing P-glycoprotein, which were found to be highly sensitive to RV 538. Reference: J Lipid Res. 1994 Jul;35(7):1232-40. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7964184/
In vivo activity: Polymer-encapsulated RV 538 demonstrated significantly increased residence time in mice. This prolonged in vivo longevity substantially improved its efficacy in interfering with atherosclerosis and cardiac hypertrophy in mice with a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet-induced condition. RV 538 is a promising therapeutic option for diseases associated with abnormal glycosphingolipid biosynthesis. Reference: Biomaterials. 2015 Sep;64:125-135. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26111596/
