| | Evaluation of Inhibitory Activities Against GCS |
| Description: | The inhibitory activities of the compounds of the present invention against GCS were evaluated, as follows, according to the method described in the known literature (Hayashi Y et al., A sensitive and reproducible assay to measure the activity of glucosylceramide synthase and lactosylceramide synthase using HPLC and fluorescent substrates, Analytical Biochemistry 345 (2005) 181-186). The enzymatic reactions were stopped by adding 100 μl of chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v). After vortexing for 15 seconds, each mixture was centrifuged (4000 rpm, 10 min, 18° C.). The lower layer (50 μl) was transferred to a new 96 deep-well plate and dried with a reduced concentrator. |
