Pyruvate Carboxylase (PC)
Pyruvate Carboxylase
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a biotin-dependent mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate, a critical step in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. It typically functions as a tetramer composed of four identical subunits, each with a molecular weight of approximately 120-130 kDa. PC is essential for various anabolic processes, including gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, insulin secretion, and the synthesis of glutamate neurotransmitters[1].
In cancer cells, PC plays a pivotal role in metabolic reprogramming and adaptation, contributing to lipid metabolism and protection against oxidative stress. Clinically, pyruvate carboxylase deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by lactic acidemia, encephalopathy, and prominent neurological symptoms during the neonatal and infantile periods. This highlights PC's critical role in energy metabolism and brain function[2].

ZY-444
0 ImagesZY-444 is an anti-cancer agent, targeting pyruvate carboxylase (PC). ZY-444 suppresses the Wnt/β-catenin/Snail signaling pathway by blocking nuclear translocation of β-catenin. ZY-444 selectively inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. ZY-444 exhibits potent anti-tumor in cancer mouse models. ZY-444 can be used for the study of breast cancer, lung cancer (NSCLC), prostate cancer and iodine-refractory thyroid cancer.

Anemoside A3-methyl 6-aminohexanoate
0 ImagesAnemoside A3-methyl 6-aminohexanoate is an orally effective pyruvate carboxylase (PC) inhibitor with a Kd value of 10.1 μM against human PC. Anemoside A3-methyl 6-aminohexanoate exerts its function through the PC/NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome axis. Anemoside A3-methyl 6-aminohexanoate significantly alleviates symptoms of DSS (HY-116282C)-induced colitis in mice. Anemoside A3-methyl 6-aminohexanoate can be used in colitis-related research.
