QUICK LINKS

FABP4 Inhibitor is a cell-permeable biphenylazolo-oxyacetate that acts as a potent and selective inhibitor of A-FABP (adipocyte Fatty-Acid-Binding Protein) by targeting its fatty acid-binding pocket (Ki = < 2 nM in a competitive binding assay using 1,8-ANS), while exhibiting much lower affinity for muscle and epidermal FABP′s (Ki = 250 nM and 350 nM, respectively). FABP4 Inhibitor (A-FABP Inhibitor) may act to effectively block foam cell transformation and the cellular expression of inflammatory mediators in aP2-positive, but not aP2-negative, THP-1 macrophage in vitro, as well as improve the glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. It effectively binds to the fatty acid-binding pocket of FABP4 with a Ki value of less than 2 nM.
