Biological Activity
DASA-58 (15 μM; 2 h) potentiates the antitumor effects of other metabolic stressors[1].
DASA-58 (15 μM; 24 h, 72 h) enhances pyruvate kinase activity in breast cancer cells without a clear effect on proliferation[1].
DASA-58 (30 μM, 60 μM; 0-72 h) enhances extracellular acidification and lactate levels in BCa cell lines and induce extracellular acidification levels in prostate cancer cell lines[1].
DASA-58 (15 μM, 30 μM; 0-72 h) affects respiration levels in BCa cells without an indication of mitochondrial damage[1].
DASA-58 (15 μM; 0-72 h) not rescues TXNIP levels in any combintion and mitochondrial inhibitors enhance PKM2 effects on activating AMPK signaling (T172 phosphorylation of AMPK) [1].
DASA-58 (15 μM; 0-72 h) leads to depletion in TXNIP levels independent of AMPK and ER signaling, and not through enhanced proteasomal degradation but rather depleted upstream glycolytic intermediates[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
