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.

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
Inhibition of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) has been found to effectively suppress tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in numerous neoplastic lesions. However, mechanism underlying SCD1-mediated anti-tumor effect has maintained unclear. Herein, we reported endo-lipid messenger ceramides played a critical
The use of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in cell therapy is hindered by the tumorigenic risk from residual undifferentiated cells. Here we performed a high-throughput screen of over 52,000 small molecules and identified 15 pluripotent cell-specific inhibitors (PluriSIns), nine
