Description

General description

A cell-permeable quinoxaline based compound that acts as a potent, reversible inhibitor of acetyl CoA synthetase (ACSS2; IC₅₀ ~ 600 nM in a luciferase based assay). Exhibits selectivity over ACSF2 and ACSL5 acyl-CoA synthetases. Efficiently blocks the uptake of ¹⁴C tracer carbons from acetate into lipids (IC₅₀ = 6.8 µM) and for histone acetylation (IC₅₀ = 5.5 µM) in HepG2 cells.
