General description

Fatostatin is a non-sterol diarylthiazole derivative. It prevents insulin-induced adipogenesis and lowers the amounts of fatty acid, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein. Fatostatin has anti tumor and antimitotic properties.

Application

Fatostatin hydrobromide has been used:
  • to study its anti-cancer activity and effects on mitotic microtubule spindle
  • to study its effects on stomatal development
  • to prevent SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP)-mediated escort of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fatostatin hydrobromide is an SREBP inhibitor. Fatostatin hydrobromide inhibits fat production and lowers glucose levels in mice by inhibiting SREBP (Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Proteins).
