VY-3-135 is an orally active, stable and specific acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) inhibitor with IC50 of 44 nM, showing no inhibitory activity against recombinant human ACSS1 or ACSS3. VY-3-135 can effectively inhibit ACSS2-dependent fatty acid metabolism but has no effect on gene expression in tumors.

Cerulenin is a natural inhibitor of fatty acid synthase (FAS). It is produced by the fungus Cephalosporium caeruleus.

Rimiducid is a lipid-permeable tacrolimus analogue, homodimerizing an analogue of human protein fkbp12 and binding to wild-type fkbp12 with 1000-fold lower affinity. Rimiducid is a dimerizer agent that acts by cross-linking the FKBP domains. It dimerizes the Caspase 9 suicide switch and rapidly induces apoptosis.

Orlistat (Tetrahydrolipstatin) is a lipase inhibitor and a fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor. Orlistat has been shown to promote weight loss.

Ac-CoA Synthase Inhibitor1 (ACSS2 inhibitor) is the most potent and specific inhibitor of acetate-dependent acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2).

C75 is an inhibitor synthetic fatty-acid synthase (FASN) and inhibits prostate cancer cells PC3 (IC50: 35 μM).C75 increases CPT1 activity and reduces DIO.

ACSS2-IN-2 (MTB-9655) is an inhibitor of acyl-CoA synthetase short-chain family member 2 (ACSS2). ACSS2-IN-2 can inhibit ACSS2 activity with an IC50 value of 3.8 nM. ACSS2-IN-2 can be used for the research of several diseases, such as viral infection, metabolic disorders, neuropsychiatric diseases, inflammatory autoimmune conditions and cancer.

FASN-in-1 is an effective, specific inhibitor of fatty acid synthase (FASN), a compound specifically designed to target and inhibit the activity of the enzyme involved in fatty acid synthesis, potentially disrupting fatty acid production and affecting various cellular processes.

TVB-3166 induces apoptosis and inhibits in-vivo xenograft tumor growth. TVB-3166 is a reversible and selective fatty acid synthase inhibitor (IC50s: 42 nM and 81 nM for biochemical FASN and cellular palmitate synthesis, respectively).

IPI-9119 is an orally active, selective, and irreversible FASN inhibitor (IC50 = 0.3 nM).

L-Carnitine (L(-)-Carnitine) is an amino acid derivative. L-Carnitine facilitates long-chain fatty acid entry into mitochondria, delivering substrate for oxidation and subsequent energy production. Fatty acids are utilized as an energy substrate in all tissues except the brain.

A-769662 is an effective, reversible AMPK activator(EC50=0.8 μM).

1. Desoxyrhaponticin (Deoxyrhaponticin) is an agent that is potentially effective in controlling postprandial hyperglycemia in diabetes, the in vivo antidiabetic action of this compound can be explained, in part at least, by inhibition of glucose transport in the small intestine and inhibition of glucose reabsorption in the kidney. 2. Desoxyrhaponticin and rhaponticin could be considered as promising fatty acid synthase(FAS) inhibitors, they could inhibit intracellular FAS activity and downregulate FAS expression in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells.

Dihydrocurcumin is the main metabolite of curcumin, which can reduce fat accumulation and oxidative stress response. Dihydrocurcumin can regulate the mRNA and protein expression levels of SREBP-1C, PNPLA3 and PPARα, increase the protein expression levels of pAKT and PI3K, and reduce the intracellular NO and ROS contents through Nrf2 signaling pathway.

FGH10019 is a novel inhibitor of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) ( IC50 :1 μM).

Beta-Hydroxyisovalerylshikonin is an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinases such as v-Src and EGFR, and has been shown to induce apoptosis in several human tumor cell lines. Beta-Hydroxyisovalerylshikonin significantly decreased viability of HCT116 cells (IC50 values = 30.9 μg mL).

Isoscoparin is derived from Gentiana algida Pall with antioxidant and anti-adipogenic activities. Isoscoparin can be used in stuides about the prevention and treatment of obesity.

trans-C75 ((±)-C75) is an enantiomer of C75, which is an inhibitor of fatty-acid synthase (FASN).

Fatostatin hydrobromide (Fatostatin A HBr) ia an inhibitor of sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP). It impairs the activation of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2.

Fatostatin is a specific inhibitor of SREBP activation, it impairs the activation of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2. Fatostatin binds to SCAP (SREBP cleavage-activating protein), and inhibits the ER-Golgi translocation of SREBPs.

Lycorine (Narcissine) inhibits protein synthesis and may inhibit ascorbic acid biosynthesis, although studies on the latter are controversial and inconclusive.

Betulin (betulinol) (lup-20(29)-ene-3β, 28-diol) is an abundant, naturally occurring triterpene. It is commonly isolated from the bark of birch trees where it forms up to 30% of the dry weight of the extractive and is found in birch sap as well.
