Description

The lipid messenger ceramide is converted to glucosylceramide by glucosylceramide synthase (GCS). In the reverse direction, non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase (GCase), also known as β-glucosidase 2 (BGD),1 cleaves the glucosyl moiety from glucosylceramide, liberating ceramide, which can be converted into sphingomyelin.2 AMP-deoxynojirimycin (AMP-dNM) is a hydrophobic derivative of dNM. It potently inhibits BGD (IC50 = 0.3 nM),3 less potently antagonizes GCS (IC50 = 25 nM),2 but only poorly inhibits other GCase isoforms. AMP-dNM has been shown to strongly suppress inflammation in a murine model of hapten-induced colitis,4 enhance insulin sensitivity in murine and rat models of insulin resistance,5 and induce sterol regulatory element-binding protein-regulated gene expression and cholesterol synthesis in Hep-G2 cells.1
