CBR-5884 (681159-27-san) is a potent and selective inhibitor of 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), IC50=33 μM.1 The action of PHGDH is the first committed step of serine biosynthesis2 and certain cancer cells overexpress PHGDH3. CBR-5884 inhibits serine biosynthesis in cells with no effect on two other dehydrogenases, lactate dehydrogenase and MDH1 and without general cytotoxic effects up to 40 μM. CBR-5884 is selectively toxic to tumor cells with high serine synthesis activity. A novel tool for selective inhibition of serine biosynthesis in cells which also provides further proof that PHGDH is a viable target for the development of novel anticancer agents.1
CBR-5884(681109 -27-san)是一种高效的选择性3-磷酸甘油酸脱氢酶抑制剂,IC50=33 μM.1 phgdhh的作用是丝氨酸生物合成的第一步2,某些癌细胞过表达PHGDH3。 CBR-5884抑制细胞丝氨酸生物合成,但不影响其他两种脱氢酶,乳酸脱氢酶和MDH1,且不产生一般的细胞毒性作用,最高可达40 μM。 CBR-5884对具有较高丝氨酸合成活性的肿瘤细胞具有选择性毒性。 一种选择性抑制细胞丝氨酸生物合成的新工具,这也进一步证明了PHGDH是开发新型抗癌药物的一个可行靶点 。
