FAHD1 inhibitors function primarily by influencing processes related to energy metabolism in which FAHD1 is directly involved. For instance, Sodium Oxamate and 2-Deoxy-D-glucose are inhibitors of LDH and glycolysis, respectively. Given that FAHD1 acts as a key enzyme in the TCAcycle, reducing the supply of substrates for the TCA cycle or the glycolytic flux can lead to the indirect inhibition of FAHD1 activity. Similarly, Dichloroacetate, a PDK inhibitor, enhances the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. The overproduction of acetyl-CoA can overload the TCA cycle, leading to a decrease in the functional activity of FAHD1.
Furthermore, several inhibitors act by disrupting mitochondrial functions, given that the TCA cycle, in which FAHD1 is a key enzyme, provides substrates to the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Rotenone, Antimycin A, and Phenformin inhibit mitochondrial complexes I and III, while Oligomycin inhibits ATP synthase, and Azide and Cyanide inhibit cytochrome c oxidase. By inhibiting these components of the electron transport chain, these chemicals decrease TCA cycle flux, leading to the functional inhibition of FAHD1. In addition, Atractyloside, an ANT inhibitor, blocks the exchange of ADP and ATP across the mitochondrial inner membrane, which also leads to a decrease in TCA cycle flux and FAHD1 functional activity. Lastly, FCCP, an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, and Malonate, a competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase, can lead to a decrease in TCA cycle flux and thus FAHD1 functional activity.
