Novel fatty acid synthase (FAS) inhibitors: design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular docking studies

Bioorg Med Chem. 2009 Mar 1;17(5):1898-904. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2009.01.050. Epub 2009 Jan 29.

Abstract

Several novel series of C75 derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their FAS inhibitory activities. The results showed compound 4-methylene-2-octyl-5-oxo-tetrahydro-thiophene-3-carboxylic acid (1c) had more effective FAS inhibitory (IC(50) was 2.56 microM and T.I. was 9.26) and potent anti-tumor activities on HL60 and Hela cells in vitro (IC(50) were 5.38 microM and 46.10 microM, respectively).
