    Product Description

    SABRAC is an inhibitor of acid ceramidase (IC50 = 52 nM).1 It is selective for acid ceramidase over neutral ceramidase and the cysteine protease papain at 3 µM. SABRAC inhibits acid ceramidase in PC3 MC metastatic prostate cancer cells (IC50 = <1 µM), as well as induces accumulation of ceramides in the same cells. It completely inhibits anchorage-independent colony formation but does not induce cytotoxicity in PC3 MC cells when used at a concentration of 5 µM.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
