TVB-3166 is an orally active fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor (IC50=42nM). TVB-3166 inhibits cellular palmitate synthesis (IC50=81nM). TVB-3166 suppresses de novo palmitate synthesis and disrupts lipid raft structure. TVB-3166 downregulates PI3K/AKT/mTOR and β-catenin signaling and reduces c-Myc expression to inhibit tumor cell proliferation and survival. TVB-3166 inhibits SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S-acylation to reduce viral entry and spread. TVB-3166 can be used in research on lung cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and other tumors, as well as COVID-19 and respiratory virus infections[1-4].
In vitro, SCC-9 ZsG and LN-1A cells were treated with 10-100µM TVB-3166 for 48 hours. TVB-3166 reduced cell viability, inhibited proliferation, promoted G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and increased myogel adhesion[5]. PANC-1 and MIA PaCa-2 cells were treated with TVB-3166 for 48 hours. TVB-3166 increased the NADPH/NADP+ ratio and reactive oxygen species levels, promoted cytochrome c release and phosphatidylserine externalization and apoptosis, upregulated BIM, PUMA, and NOXA, and increased the proportion of apoptotic cells[6]. MOLM13, MV411, and Baf3-FLT3-ITD cells were treated with 100-250nM TVB-3166 for 1-5 days. TVB-3166 reduced pS6 levels, downregulated Gli1 expression, and decreased cell survival[7].
In vivo, BALB/c mice with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lung infection received 50mg/kg TVB-3166 via gavage twice daily for 3 days. TVB-3166 reduced lung RSV titers and decreased lung lymphocyte infiltration[8]. BALB-c-nude mice with PANC-1 xenografts received 100mg/kg TVB-3166 via gavage once daily for 18 days. TVB-3166 inhibited tumor growth[9]. SCID mice with tamoxifen-resistant MCF7/TamR cells implanted in the mammary fat pad received 60mg/kg TVB-3166 orally once daily for 8 weeks. TVB-3166 inhibited tamoxifen-resistant breast tumor growth[10].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
SCC-9 ZsG cells (human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line) and LN-1A cells (metastatic derivative of SCC-9 ZsG) |
|
Preparation Method |
SCC-9 ZsG and LN-1A cells were maintained in DMEM/F-12 supplemented with 2% or 10% FBS at 37°C, 5% CO2. Cells were treated with TVB-3166 at 10-100µM for 48h for viability, proliferation, death, cell cycle, migration, adhesion and western blot analyses. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
10-100µM; 48h |
|
Applications |
TVB-3166 reduced cell viability and proliferation, promoted G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and Annexin V-PE positive cell death, increased adhesion to myogel, reduced SCC-9 ZsG migration, and decreased p-Akt level while increasing E-cadherin level in both cell lines. |

|
Animal models |
Female BALB-c-nude mice |
|
Preparation Method |
Mice were inoculated subcutaneously with PANC-1 or OVCAR-8 tumor cells or implanted with patient-derived tumor fragments, and when tumor size reached about 100-300 mm3, TVB-3166 was administered by oral gavage once daily (PANC-1: 30 or 100mg/kg for 18 days; OVCAR-8: 30/60/100mg/kg for 21 days) tumor size was measured twice weekly and tumors/plasma collected at study end for Western blot, pharmacokinetics and growth analysis. |

TVB-3166 inhibited PANC-1, OVCAR-8 xenograft tumor growth, reduced tumor pAkt(S473) in PANC-1 tumors, increased FASN protein expression in PANC-1 tumors, and caused body weight changes similar to vehicle-treated mice. |
