Popis

General description

A cell-permeable furoic acid compound that acts as a potent, reversible, and competitive inhibitor of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), a key enzyme involved in the fatty acid biosynthesis. Inhibits cellular fatty acid synthesis in a dose-dependent manner (IC₅₀ = 4 µM in human breast cancer cell line MCF7). TOFA-induced reduction in malonyl-CoA is reported to off-set the effect of C75 (Cat. No. 341325) on food intake in fasted mice and on apoptosis in tumor cells.
