LCL768 is a ceramide analog. LCL768 attenuates PARKIN succination to promote PARKIN activation and mitophagy. LCL768 induces CerS1-mediated endogenous C18-ceramide accumulation in mitochondria to mediate mitophagy, which is dependent on DRP1 activation via nitrosylation at C644. LCL768 alters mitochondrial metabolism, resulting in fumarate depletion and leading to tumor suppression. LCL768 improves sensorimotor defects in neurodegenerative diseases like ALS.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
