Biochem/physiol Actions

(1R,3S)-HPA-12 is a ceramide (Cer) analog that acts as a Cer transporter (CERT) antagonist and selectively inhibits cellular Cer conversion to sphingomyelin (SM), but not to glucosylceramide, by blocking CERT-mediated Cer ER-to-Golgi transport. Common culture dosing range: 1-10 μM.

Storage Class Code

11 - Combustible Solids

The practical stereodivergent route to both syn- and anti-diastereomers of 1-substituted 3-aminobutane-1,4-diols based on the crystallization-induced asymmetric transformation (CIAT) approach was completed. This led to the revision of the reported stereochemistry of the first inhibitor of CERT-dependent ceramide trafficking HPA-12

In response to Berkeš's report revising the stereochemistry of HPA-12, an important ceramide-trafficking inhibitor that was discovered and synthesized and its stereochemistry determined in 2001, the synthesis and the stereochemistry were reinvestigated. A large-scale synthetic method for HPA-12 based on
