Abstract: CP-24,879 inhibits fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2), a diiron lipid oxidase necessary for polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis, with exceptional cellular potency (EC50 15 nM) despite its fragment-like structure. Here we demonstrate CP-24,879 is unexpectedly activated in cells to ...
