Applications

Fatty acid biosynthesis inhibitor

 

Functions

Fatty acid synthase (FAS) inhibitor. Binds to β-keto-acyl-ACP synthase (KAS; IC50=1.5 μM), thus inhibiting protein acylation at concentrations of 45-134 μM. Produces metabolic effects similar to the effects of leptin, but through mechanisms that are independent of, or down-stream of, both leptin and melanocortin receptors. Reduces nutrient-induced insulin release from normal rat islets. Induces apoptosis in human melanoma A-375 cells.

 

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 10 mg/ml) or in Ethanol (up to 10 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or ethanol may be stored at -20° for up to 1 month.
