Biochem/physiol Actions

Blocks sphingosine biosynthesis by inhibition of ketosphinganine synthetase. Cytotoxicity toward neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma cells mediated by suppression of ganglioside synthesis.
L-cycloserine is a potent inhibitor of serine palmitoyltransferase, the first step of sphingolipid synthesis.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines vary in their sensitivity to glutaminase inhibitors, so it is important to identify the metabolic assets underling their efficacy in cancer cells. Even though specific genetic lesions such as in KRAS and LKB1 have

We describe the effect of a chemically characterized lipophilic extract obtained from Marthasterias glacialis L. against human breast cancer (MCF-7) and human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cell lines. Evaluation of DNA synthesis revealed that both cell lines were markedly affected in a

Human neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma express abnormal ganglioside patterns especially GD2 and GM2 which are important for tumour growth. We tested the effects of L-cycloserine (L-CS), a potent inhibitor of synthesis of glycosphingolipids, on the growth, viability and expression of GD2
