6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid，25MG，SML0404-25MG，Sigma

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 cells
• to induce α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) and pro-collagen I expression and to assess PDH enzyme activity in whole-cell lysates
• to validate basal respiration in tissue respirometry

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.
6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid is an E1α 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.
