Application

6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid has been used as pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) inhibitor:
  • to study its effects on neurite outgrowth in primary mouse dorsal root ganglia cells
  • to induce α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) and pro-collagen I expression and to assess PDH enzyme activity in whole-cell lysates
  • to validate basal respiration in tissue respirometry

Biochem/physiol Actions

6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid (CPI-613) is a lipoate analog. It acts as a mitochondrial disrupter by blocking the mitochondrial enzymes pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase.
6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid is an E1α pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) modulator that prevents cancer cells from metabolizing glucose for energy. 6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid has been granted orphan drug status by the US FDA for pancreatic cancer.
6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid is an E1α pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) modulator.

A metabolic phenomenon known as the Warburg effect has been characterized in certain cancerous cells, embryonic stem cells, and other rapidly proliferative cell types. Previously, our attempts to induce a Warburg-like state pharmaceutically via CPI-613 and PS48 treatment did augment

TGF-β1 reprograms metabolism in renal fibroblasts, inducing a switch from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis. However, molecular events underpinning this are unknown. Here we identify that TGF-β1 downregulates acetyl-CoA biosynthesis via regulation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). Flow cytometry
