Product Information

• Name: 3-Carboxy-4-octyl-2-methylenebutyrolactone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Carboxy-4-octyl-2-methylenebutyrolactone is a potent synthetic analog of the natural fatty acid synthase inhibitor, FASN. It inhibits the activity of FASN, which plays an important role in the synthesis of fatty acids in macrophages and other cells. 3C8OL has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. This compound also potently inhibits the uptake of glucose by rat cerebellar Purkinje neurons, as well as insulin resistance and obesity in mice. 3C8OL has pharmacokinetic properties that are similar to those of rapamycin complex (RAPA), which may be due to its ability to inhibit insulin signaling pathways by binding to rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2) receptors on cell membranes. 3C8OL has also been shown to have anorectic effects, which may be due to its inhibition of appetite-stimulating hormones such
