A cell-permeable naphthoquinone derivative that acts as an ATP-competitive inhibitior against sphingosine kinase 1 (IC50 = 2uM; [sphingosine] = 10uM & [ATP] = 100uM) and several protein kinases, including, but not limited to, TNK2, AURKB, Met, Syk, AURKC, Fyn, Flt2, PIM2, MST2, CLK1, Tie1, and Fak (IC50 <2uM), while exhibiting much reduced potency toward DAG Kinase and sphingosine kinase 2 (37% and no inhibition, respectively, at 100uM). Shown to be more potent than SK1/2 dual inhibitor against kidney adenocarcinoma A498 proliferation (GI50 = 10 and 20uM, respectively; 48h) and the two inhibitors are also reported to induce differential modulations of A498 cellular ceramides and S1P levels when applied at their respective GI50.
