Description: Genz-123346 is a potent and selective glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. Exposure of cells to Genz-123346 and to other GCS inhibitors at non-toxic concentrations can enhance the killing of tumor cells by cytotoxic anti-cancer agents. Genz-123346 and a few other GCS inhibitors are substrates for multi-drug resistance efflux pumps such as P-gp (ABCB1, gP-170). In cell lines selected to over-express P-gp or which endogenously express P-gp, chemosensitization by Genz-123346 was primarily due to the effects on P-gp function.

More Info:
| Biological target: | Genz-123346 is a potent, orally available glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor and inhibits GM1 with an IC50 value of 14 nM. |
| In vitro activity: | Exposure of cells to Genz-123346 at non-toxic concentrations can enhance the killing of tumor cells by cytotoxic anti-cancer agents. This activity was unrelated to lowering intracellular glycosphingolipid levels. Genz-123346 is a substrate for multi-drug resistance efflux pumps such as P-gp (ABCB1, gP-170). In cell lines selected to over-express P-gp or which endogenously express P-gp, chemosensitization by Genz-123346 was primarily due to the effects on P-gp function.

| In vivo activity: | In the Zucker diabetic fatty rat, the glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor (1R,2R)-nonanoic acid[2-(2',3'-dihydro-benzo [1, 4] dioxin-6'-yl)-2-hydroxy-1-pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl-ethyl]- amide-l-tartaric acid salt (Genz-123346) lowered glucose and A1C levels and improved glucose tolerance. Drug treatment also prevented the loss of pancreatic beta-cell function normally observed in the Zucker diabetic fatty rat and preserved the ability of the animals to secrete insulin. In the diet-induced obese mouse, treatment with Genz-123346 normalized A1C levels and improved glucose tolerance. Analysis of the phosphorylation state of the insulin receptor and downstream effectors showed increased insulin signaling in the muscles of the treated Zucker diabetic fatty rats and diet-induced obese mice.
