Description：Genz-123346 free base is an orally available inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase. Genz-123346 blocks the conversion of ceramide to glucosylceramide (GL1) and inhibits GM1 with an IC50 of 14 nM.

In Vitro：Exposure of cells to Genz-123346 and to other GCS inhibitors at nontoxic concentrations can enhance the killing of tumor cells by cytotoxic anti-cancer agents. Genz-123346 and a few other GCS inhibitors are substrates for multi-drug resistance efflux pumps such as P-gp (ABCB1, gP-170). In cell lines selected to over-express P-gp or which endogenously express P-gp, chemosensitization by Genz-123346 is primarily due to the effects on P-gp function[2]. Genz-123346(Genz) is an enhancer of autophagy flux[3].

In Vivo：In the Zucker diabetic fatty rat, Genz-123346 loared glucose and A1C levels and improved glucose tolerance. Drug treatment also prevented the loss of pancreatic beta-cell function and preserved the ability of the animals to secrete insulin. In the diet-induced obese mouse, treatment with Genz-123346 normalized A1C levels and improved glucose tolerance. The oral bioavailability of the drug is shown to be about 10% and 30% in mice and rats, respectively, with a half-life in plasma of 30–60 min[1]. Genz-123346 treatment results in a dose-dependent reduction of renal GlcCer and GM3 levels that translates into effective inhibition of cystic disease. A direct effect of Genz-123346 on the Akt-mTOR signaling pathway is observed, with reduced phosphorylation of Akt and ribosomal protein S6[4].

Animal Administration：Rats: Genz-123346 is dissolved in water. Zucker diabetic fatty rats treated with Genz-123346 (75 mg/kg) for 6 weeks are fasted overnight. The following morning, the fasted rats are anesthetized and injected with 5 units human insulin into the hepatic portal vein. Quadriceps muscle and liver are harvested 2 min after injection and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Insulin receptor is immunoprecipitated. The immunoprecipitates are analyzed by immunoblotting[1]. Mice: C57BL/6 mice are fed on a high-fat (45% of kcal) diet for 8 weeks, obese mice with comparable body weight gain, glucose, and insulin levels are assigned to either the treated or control groups. The mice are then gavaged daily with Genz-123346 or water for 10 weeks[1].
