Cambinol, a novel inhibitor of neutral sphingomyelinase 2 shows neuroprotective properties.

Cambinol, a novel inhibitor of neutral sphingomyelinase 2 shows neuroprotective properties.

Ceramide is a bioactive lipid that plays an important role in stress responses leading to apoptosis, cell growth arrest and differentiation. Ceramide production is due in part to sphingomyelin hydrolysis by sphingomyelinases. In brain, neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) is expressed in neurons and...
