General description

2-Bromooctanoic acid is an effective substitute for the expensive (2,000 times) and cell-growth-inhibiting polyhydroxyalkanoic acid synthesis inhibitor, cerulenin. It blocks the formation of polyhydroxyalkanoic acid in Pseudomonas fluorescens BM07 without any influence on the cell growth when grown on fructose. It inhibits β-oxidation of fatty acids in perfused rat liver and in mitochondria isolated from rat liver.

Hexanoate and octanoate inhibit the triiodothyronine (T3)-induced increases in the activities of malic enzyme and fatty acid synthase in chick embryo hepatocytes in culture. Butanoate was less effective as an inhibitor, and palmitate, stearate, and oleate had no effect or

The effects of sodium butyrate and sodium bromo-octanoate (an inhibitor of beta oxidation) on colonic mucus glycoprotein (mucin) synthesis have been assessed using tissue from colonic resection samples. Epithelial biopsy specimens were incubated for 16 hours in RPMI 1640 with

1. The induction of peroxisomal beta-oxidation activities by bezafibrate in cultured rat hepatocytes and in the rat in vivo was prevented by inhibitors of carnitine acyltransferase, e.g. 2-bromopalmitate, 2-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)pentyl]oxirane-2-carboxylate or 2-tetradecylglycidic acid. 2. The prevention of peroxisomal proliferation by carnitine

I examined whether the phorbol ester-mediated inhibition of glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) induction could be mimicked by raising the cellular diacylglycerol levels. Phorbol ester tumor promoters and diacylglycerols activate protein kinase C. An increase in radiolabeled diacylglycerol levels in C6
