Application
6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid has been used as pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) inhibitor:to study its effects on neurite outgrowth in primary mouse dorsal root ganglia cellsto induce α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) and pro-collagen I expression and to assess PDH enzyme activity in whole-cell lysatesto validate basal respiration in tissue respirometry
Biochem/physiol Actions
6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid is an E1A pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) modulator that prevents cancer cells from metabolizing glucose for energy. 6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid has been granted orphan drug status by the US FDA for pancreatic cancer.
6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid (CPI-613) is a lipoate analog. It acts as a mitochondrial disrupter by blocking the mitochondrial enzymes pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase.
