How ABC-294640 works
ABC-294640 selectively inhibits sphingosine kinase-2 (SK2). This inhibition blocks the synthesis of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and its activities (which includes regulation of fundamental biological processes such as cell proliferation, migration, immune cell trafficking, angiogenesis, immune-modulation, and suppression of innate immune responses from T-cells). This drug has dual anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity targeting a host cell component and is unaffected by viral mutation, contributing to minimization of the likelihood of resistance. It is currently being investigated against COVID-19 as it has demonstrated anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity in studies.
