4-(2-Chlorophenoxy)-N-(3-(methylcarbamoyl)phenyl)piperidine-1-carboxamide, 4-(2-Chlorophenoxy)-N-[3-[(methylamino)carbonyl]phenyl]-1-piperidinecarboxamide, A 939572, A939
A939572 is an orally available piperidine-aryl urea-based small molecule that inhibits stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) with high potency (IC50 = 37 nM/hSCD1 and <4 nM/mSCD1) with little hERG channel blockade activity (IC50 >100 μM). When administered in ob/ob mice, A939572 effectively reduces desaturation indices in vivo (18:0/18:1n9 ratio from 26.9 to 8.47 in liver; from 15.4 to 7.35 in plasma post 5-day 10 mg/kg bid p.o.). A939572 is a useful tool for probing SCD1-mediated physiological and pathological processes both in cultures (50 nM-10 μM) and in vivo (5-10 mg/kg i.p. or 10 mg/kg p.o. in mice).
Orally available, potent and selective stearoyl-CoA-desaturase 1 (SCD1) inhibitor.

Autophagy is indispensable for the proper architecture and flawless functioning of pancreatic β-cells. A growing body of evidence indicates reciprocal communication between autophagic pathways, apoptosis, and intracellular lipids. The way in which elevated levels of free saturated or unsaturated FAs
Some cancer cells exhibit elevated levels of free fatty acids (FAs) as well as high levels of β-catenin, a transcriptional co-activator that promotes their growth. Here, we link these two phenomena by showing that unsaturated FAs inhibit degradation of β-catenin.

Emerging literature suggests that metabolic pathways play an important role in the maintenance and progression of human cancers. In particular, recent studies have implicated lipid biosynthesis and desaturation as a requirement for tumor cell survival. In the studies reported here

Obesity and associated complications are becoming a pandemic. Inhibiting adipogenesis is an important intervention for the treatment of obesity. Despite intensive investigations, numerous mechanistic aspects of adipogenesis remain unclear, and many potential therapeutic targets have yet to be discovered. Transcriptomics

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) is a key player in lipid metabolism. SCD1 catalyzes the synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). MUFA are then incorporated into triacylglycerols and phospholipids. Previous studies have shown that Scd1 deficiency in mice induces metabolic changes in
