Inhibition of fatty acid synthase (FASN) by the irreversible inhibitor cerulenin leads to cytotoxicity and apoptosis in human cancer cell lines.1 TOFA is an inhibitor of fatty acid synthesis blocking the synthesis of malonyl-

Cell experiment: |
NCI-H460, human lung cancer cells, and HCT-8 and HCT-15 cells (5,000/well) are seeded in 96-well plates overnight and then exposed to TOFA at indicated concentrations (0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 μg/mL) for 72 hours. Viable cells are detected using MTT assay[1]. |
Animal experiment: |
Mice: Mice are treated with 50 μL DMSO (control group) or treated with TOFA (50 mg/kg). The drugs are injected intraperitoneally daily for two weeks. Tumor volumes are recorded every two days by measuring dimensions (length and width) with Vernier calipers. The mice are sacrificed four weeks after the final treatment. Tumor weights are measured by a scale[2]. |
