UGT8 inhibitor 19 is an inhibitor of UDP-galactose ceramide galactosyltransferase (UGT8), also known as ceramide galactosyltranferase (CGT; IC50 = 0.2 nM).1 It is selective for UGT8 over UGT1A1, -1A6, -2B7, -2B15, and -2B17 (IC50s = >10 µM for all). In vivo, UGT8 inhibitor 19 inhibits the synthesis of galactosylceramide (GalCer) and sulfatide (SFT) in juvenile mouse brain (ED50s = <3 mg/kg for both) and adult mouse kidney when administered at doses of 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg.
