VLX600 is an iron-chelating inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). VLX600 causes mitochondrial dysfunction and induces a strong shift to glycolysis. VLX600 displays selective cytotoxic activity against malignant cell and induces autophagy. Anticancer activity.
体外研究
VLX600 (6 μM; 72 hours) induces an autophagic response.
VLX600 is cytotoxic to HCT116 spheroids. VLX600 induces a HIF-1α-dependent glycolytic response. VLX600 inhibits oxygen consumption in HCT116 cells. VLX600 inhibits phosphorylation of the mTOR downstream effectors 4EBP1 and p70-S6K by an HIF-1α-independent mechanism. VLX600 preferentially leads to decreased ATP levels in cancer but not normal cells.
