PERHEXILINE MALEATE SALT

Описание

Perhexiline is a carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) and CPT2 inhibitor that was originally developed as an anti-anginal drug in the 1970s. It inhibits rat heart and liver CPT1 (IC₅₀ = 77 and 148 μM, respectively) and rat heart CPT2 (IC₅₀ = 79 μM). Inhibition of CPT reduces uptake of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, thereby shifting cellular metabolism from β-oxidation to glycolysis. Perhexilin inhibits mTORC1 signaling at 10 μM and induces autophagy ~7-fold at a concentration of 10 μM in MCF-7 cells.
