PRGL493

PRGL493 is an inhibitor of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4) .1It inhibits formation of arachidonoyl-CoA (AA-CoA) from arachidonic acid in, as well as the proliferation and migration of, PC3 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells when used at a concentration of 50 μM. PRGL493 (5 μM) reduces production of progesterone induced by 8-Br-cyclic AMP (8-Br-cAMP) in MA-10 Leydig tumor cells. It inhibits tumor growth in a PC3 mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg.
