    Abstract:
    Sphingosine kinase (SphK), which catalyzes the transfer of phosphate from ATP to sphingosine (Sph) generating sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) has emerged as therapeutic target since the discovery of connections of S1P with cancer progress. So far, most effort has focused on the development of inhibitors of SphK1, and selective inhibitors of SphK2 have been much less explored. Here, we describe the syntheses of new sphingosine derivatives bearing a tetrasubstituted carbon atom at C-2, dimethylhydrazino or azo moieties in the polar head, and alkane, alkene or alkyne moieties as linkers between the polar ahead and the fatty tail. In vitro inhibitory assays based on a time resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET) have revealed the hydrazino and alkynyl moieties as the best combination for the design of selective SphK2 inhibitors (19a and 19b). Docking studies showed that compounds 19a-b have the optimal binding to SphK2 through the exploitation of polar but also hydrophobic interactions of their head group with the head of the enzyme binding pocket, while also producing full contact of the fatty tail with the hydrophobic pocket of the enzyme. By contrast, this elongation causes loss of contact surface with the shorter hydrophobic toe of the SphK1 isoform, thus accounting for the SphK2-biased selectivity of these compounds. Cell viability assays of the most promising candidates 19a-b have shown that 19a is not cytotoxic to human endothelial cells at 30 μM.
