Common Namen,n-dimethylsphingosine
DescriptionN,N-Dimethylsphingosine, also known as DMS or N,N-dimethylsphing-4-enine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1,2-aminoalcohols. These are organic compounds containing an alkyl chain with an amine group bound to the C1 atom and an alcohol group bound to the C2 atom. Thus, N,N-dimethylsphingosine is considered to be a sphingoid base lipid molecule. N,N-Dimethylsphingosine induces apoptosis, but it is not an inhibitor of protein kinase C. N,N-Dimethylsphingosine is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Other studies have indicated that N,N-Dimethylsphingosine inhibits airway inflammation in asthma (PMID: 18359884 ) And is cardioprotective (PMID: 16831409 ). N,N-Dimethylsphingosine induces apoptosis, but it is not an inhibitor of protein kinase C. N,N-Dimethylsphingosine (DMS) has recently been identified as an inducer of pain in a rat model of chronic pain. It has properties similar to capsaicin (PMID: 16740613 ). n,n-dimethylsphingosine is found in Trypanosoma brucei. n,n-dimethylsphingosine was first documented in 2006 (PMID: 16740613). It is a natural metabolite of sphingosine in some cancer cell lines and tissues (PMID: 22267119) (PMID: 18359884) (PMID: 16831409).
