General description

A cell-permeable oxobutananilide compound that is predicted to interact with Glut (Glucose Transporter) at an intracellular site based on a virtual docking study and shown to inhibit Glut-mediated cellular glucose uptake (50% and 80% inhibition of 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake in Glut1- and Glut4-overexpressing L6 myoblasts, respectively, at 300 µM). Fas-resistant cell lines that are made Fas-responsive upon medium glucose deprivation are also shown to be sensitized by Fasentin to Fas-mediated cell death (ED₅₀ = 35 µM in PPC-1 cultures), while cells that remain Fas-resistant upon glucose deprivation, e.g. DU145, are shown not to be sensitized by Fasentin to Fas-mediated death.
