Application

C75 has been used:
  • as a fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor to test its ability in the direct inhibition of FASN to attenuate mammosphere formation as compared to metformin
  • as a pharmacological inhibitor to inhibit fatty acid synthesis in glioma stem cells (GSCs)
  • as FAS inhibitor in the pre-treatment of Chang cells to inhibit lipogenesis and reverse the senescence induced by hydrogen peroxide

Biochem/physiol Actions

C75 helps to increase the cancer‐killing capability of ionizing radiation.
C75 is a novel, potent synthetic inhibitor of fatty acid synthase (FAS), which is used as a tool for studying fatty acid synthesis in metabolic disorders and cancer.

Fatty Acid Synthesis and Metabolism in Cancer Cells

Information on fatty acid synthesis and metabolism in cancer cells. Learn how proliferatively active cells require fatty acids for functions such as membrane generation, protein modification, and bioenergetic requirements. These fatty acids are derived either from dietary sources or are synthesized by the cell.
