R-59022 (93076-89-2) is a diacylglycerol kinase (DAGK) inhibitor, nonselective for DAGK isotypes (IC50=2.8 μM in intact platelets).1 Induces autophagy and apoptosis in NG108-15 neuronal cells via an mTOR-independent mechanism.2 Prevents conjugated linoleic acid-mediated inflammatory signaling and insulin resistance in human adipocytes.3 Blocks filovirus internalization in host cells.4
R-59-022 acts as an inducer of apoptosis in glioblastoma cells and avoids apoptosis in non-cancerous cells. This selectivity makes this drug a highly effective anti-cancer agent. Diacylglycerol Kinase inhibitor.
ChEBI: 6-[2-[4-[(4-fluorophenyl)-phenylmethylidene]-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-7-methyl-5-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinone is a diarylmethane.
Diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase inhibitor (IC 50 = 2.8 μ M); increases protein kinase C activity. Potentiates thrombin-induced platelet aggregation and induces neutrophil chemotaxis. Inhibits U46619-induced contractions in mouse aorta and porcine coronary artery.
