Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a platform for assessing sphingolipid lipid kinase inhibitors.

Successful medicinal chemistry campaigns to discover and optimize sphingosine kinase inhibitors require a robust assay for screening chemical libraries and for determining rank order potencies. Existing assays for these enzymes are laborious, expensive and/or low throughput. The toxicity of excessiv...
