FASN inhibitor 1

FASN

Human PBMC and monocytes in cell cultures are stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a Toll 4 receptor agonist, or lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a Toll 2 receptor agonist. Stimulation with either LPS or LTA plus DMSO, the solvent for FASN-IN-3 (Compound 242A), results in secretion of IL-1 beta. FASN inhibitor 1 treatment of PBMC, which is a mixed population of mononuclear cells including both lymphocytes and monocytes, reduces the level of IL-1 beta resulting from either LPS or LTA stimulation. For monocytes, FASN-IN-3 treatment reduces the level of IL-1 beta resulting from LTA stimulation whereas there is only a slight reduction after LPS stimulation.
