| Scientific Background | Sphingosine is a bioactive lipid and precursor to ceramide and sphingosine-1-phosphate, both of which are critical regulators of cell fate. In the nervous system, sphingosine modulates signaling pathways involved in neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and synaptic function. It selectively inhibits protein kinase C and calmodulin-dependent enzymes, influencing neurotransmission and neuronal survival. Alterations in sphingolipid metabolism are associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, making sphingosine a molecule of interest in neurobiology. |
