Disclosed are compounds of formula II:wherein A is as defined by the specification. Also disclosed are compositions containing the esters and methods for their use in the regulation of skin atrophy and in the treatment of skin disorders such as dry skin, dandruff, acne and eczema.

Disclosed is a non-natural ceramide compound effective for a sphingosine kinase activator, and thus useful for a skin disease treating agent. The sphingosine kinase activator enhances production of sphingosine-1-phosphate to show various physiological activities provided by sphingosine-1-phosphate. The physiological activities include the effects of: controlling multiplication and differentiation of keratinocytes, multiplication of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis, resulting in treatment of wounds, recovery of damaged skin functions in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis; inhibiting wrinkles and skin irritation caused by ultraviolet rays, followed by improvement of wrinkles and inhibition of skin aging; and reducing skin atrophy, which is a typical side effect of local application steroids. Therefore, the sphingosine kinase activator is useful for a skin disease treating agent for treating skin wounds, wrinkles, atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, or skin atrophy caused by side effects of local application steroids.
