Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of selective sphingosine kinase inhibitors

Sphingosine kinase (SphK) has emerged as an attractive target for cancer therapeutics due to its role in cell proliferation. SphK phosphorylates sphingosine to form sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) which has been implicated as a major player in cancer growth and survival. SphK exists as two different i...
