rb 005

RB-005 is a potent sphingosine kinase isoform 1 (SK1) inhibitor, which may serve as therapeutic agent for proliferative diseases, including hypertension. RB-005, (IC(50) = 3.6 μM), which also induced proteasomal degradation of SK1 in human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells.

SGK1 inhibitor is an inhibitor of serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) and SGK2. It is selective for SGK1 and SGK2 over SGK3 in the presence of a high concentration of ATP. SGK1 inhibitor prevents phosphorylation of GSK3β in U2OS cells and decreases cell viability in BYL719-insensitive HCC1954 cells when used in combination with the PI3Kα inhibitor BYL719. SGK1 inhibitor reduces tumor growth in an HCC1954 mouse xenograft model when administered in combination with BYL719.
