K6PC-5，一种神经酰胺衍生物，是一种鞘氨醇激酶 1 (SPHK1) 激活剂，可引起细胞内钙水平的短暂快速升高。K6PC-5 用于研究涉及异常角质形成细胞的皮肤疾病、神经退行性疾病和病毒感染。

K6PC-5, a ceramide derivative, is a sphingosine kinase 1(SPHK1) activator and elicites a rapid transient increase in intracellular calcium levels. K6PC-5 has the potential for skin diseases involving abnormal keratinocyte, and neurodegeneration and virus infection research.

K6PC-5 (1-10 μM; 24 h) increases the involucrin and loricrin levels in a dose-dependent manner in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). K6PC-5 promotes differentiation and proliferation of keratinocytes via intracellular Ca2+ signaling. In addition, K6PC-5 stimulates the phosphorylation of p42/44 extracellular signal-regulated kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase[1]. K6PC-5 (1-10 μM; 24 h) promotes fibroblasts proliferation and collagen synthesis in human fibroblasts. K6PC-5 induces intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) oscillations in human fibroblasts[2]. K6PC-5 (10, 25, and 50 μM; 48 h) significantly attenuates EBOV-induced infection in EBOV-infected EA.hy926 cells. K6PC-5 significantly reduces the virus titers in supernatants of infected cells and strikingly decreased the amount of VP40 in a concentration-dependent manner[3].

In intrinsically aged hairless mice (56 weeks old), 1% K6PC-5 is applied topically for 2 weeks. This K6PC-5 treatment significantly increases both the number of dermal fibroblasts and collagen production. As a consequence, dermal thickness also increased significantly[2].
