C75 trans [(±)-C75] is an isomer/enantiomer of C75 which is a synthetic fatty-acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor. It has weight loss and feeding inhibition in both high-fat diet wild type obese and leptin-deficient ob/ob mice.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | trans-C75 ((±)-C75) inhibits PC3 cell growth with an IC50 of 35 μM at 24 hours. trans-C75 ((±)-C75) (10-50 μM) still decreases the development of LNCaP spheres at concentrated concentrations trans-C75 ((±)-C75) is active in inhibiting FAS and has cytotoxic effects on tumor cell types. Does not alter culture media. trans-C75 ((±)-C75) inhibits CPT1, and the differential activity of its C75 on enantiomers may lead to the development of possible novel cancer and luminescence medicines [2]. |
| ln Vivo | Ten to twenty-four hours after intraperitoneal injection, C75 inhibited the expression of c-Fos caused by fasting in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN), hypothalamic ischemia region (LHA), and arcuate nucleus (Arc). After intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg C75, within 2 hours, ≥ 95% of the suspended mice had eaten [3]. Mice treated with C75 showed a 50% reduction in body weight and a 32.9% increase in output as a result of mild oxidation. Even in the face of increased amounts of malonyl-CoA, C75 treatment of animal adipocytes, hepatocytes, and human mammary tissue methanol enhances plant oxidation and ATP levels via raising CPT-1 activity [4]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~83.3 mg/mL (~327.53 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.83 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.83 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.83 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
