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

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 (IC50 was 2.56 μM and T.I. was 9.26) and potent anti-tumor activities on HL60 and Hela cells in vitro (IC50 were 5.38 μM and 46.10 μM, respectively).

The synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular docking studies of several novel series of C75 derivatives are described.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
