Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a pleiotropic signaling molecule that interacts with its five G-protein coupled receptors (S1P<sub>1-5</sub>) to regulate cell growth and survival and has been implicated in a variety of diseases including cancer and sickle cell disease. As the key mediators in the synthesis of S1P, sphingosine kinase (SphK) isoforms 1 and 2 have attracted attention as viable targets for pharmaceutical inhibition. In this article, we describe the design, synthesis, and biological ...[more]
