Lipogenesis inhibitor is a class of drug that works by inhibiting de novo lipogenesis—the generation of fatty acids in the body. These drugs target enzymes involved in lipogenesis, such as citrate/isocitrate carrier (CIC), ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid synthase (FAS). Lipogenesis plays a role in energy ...
Fatty-acyl-CoA synthase, or more commonly known as yeast fatty acid synthase (and not to be confused with long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase), is an enzyme complex responsible for fatty acid biosynthesis, and is of Type I Fatty Acid Synthesis (FAS). Yeast fatty acid synthase plays a pivotal role in fatty acid synthesis.
This is a list of chemotherapeutic agents, also known as cytotoxic agents or cytostatic drugs, that are known to be of use in chemotherapy for cancer.This list is organized by type of agent, although the subsections are not necessarily definitive and are subject to revision.
CPT-I inhibitors: etomoxir, oxfenicine, perhexiline CPT-I (carnitine palmitoyl transferase) converts fatty acyl-CoA to fatty acyl-carnitine. Carnitine biosynthesis inhibitor: mildronate [1] 3-KAT inhibitors: trimetazidine 3-KAT (3-ketoacyl-coenzyme A thiolase) inhibitors directly inhibits fatty acid beta-oxidation.

A chemotherapy regimen is a regimen for chemotherapy, defining the drugs to be used, their dosage, the frequency and duration of treatments, and other considerations. In modern oncology, many regimens combine several chemotherapy drugs in combination chemotherapy. The majority of drugs used in cancer chemotherapy are cytostatic, many via ...

Fatty acid synthase is a multi-enzyme protein that catalyzes fatty acid synthesis. It is not a single enzyme but a whole enzymatic system composed of two ...
The long chain fatty acyl-CoA ligase (or synthetase) is an enzyme (EC 6.2.1.3) of the ligase family that activates the oxidation of complex fatty acids. [2] Long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase catalyzes the formation of fatty acyl-CoA by a two-step process proceeding through an adenylated intermediate. [3]
