C6 Urea Ceramide
C6 urea ceramide is a neutral ceramidase inhibitor that elevates cellular ceramide levels, selectively inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis and autophagy in colon cancer cells like HT-29 and HCT116. It promotes β-catenin degradation and demonstrates in vivo efficacy by reducing tumor growth in xenograft models, making it a valuable research tool for studying ceramide metabolism and cancer biology.
