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[1]
  • as a pharmacological inhibitor to inhibit fatty acid synthesis in glioma stem cells (GSCs)[2]
  • as FAS inhibitor in the pre-treatment of Chang cells to inhibit lipogenesis and reverse the senescence induced by hydrogen peroxide[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

C75 helps to increase the cancer‐killing capability of ionizing radiation.[4]
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.

The teleost fish, medaka (Oryzias latipes), employs the XX/XY genetic sex determination system. We show here that the phenotypic sex of medaka is affected by changes in lipid metabolism. Medaka larvae subjected to 5 days of starvation underwent female-to-male sex reversal.
