NCIt definition : A saturated derivative of sphingosine. As an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC),
safingol competitively binds to the regulatory phorbol-binding domain of PKC, a kinase
involved in tumorigenesis. This agent has been shown to act synergistically with other
chemotherapeutic agents and may potentiate chemotherapy drug-induced apoptosis in
vitro and in vivo.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance that is being studied in the treatment of cancer. It belongs
