TTGM 5826 stabilizes the open conformation of tTG that exhibits protein cross-linking activity, and acts as a competitive inhibitor of tTG-mediated cross-linking activity. TTGM 5826 inhibits the transformed phenotypes of breast cancer cells, brain cancer cells and glioma stem cells. TTGM 5826 can be used in the research of breast cancer, glioblastoma, pancreatic cancer and glioma stem cell-related tumors.

Decanoic acid is a key component of the medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) found in coconut oil. Decanoic acid is a brain-penetrant and non-competitive inhibitor of AMPA receptor showing antiseizure activity in rats. Decanoic acid reduces tyrosinase activity and inhibits melanosome maturation. Decanoic acid suppresses the phosphorylation of c-Met and induced apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells by inhibiting the expression of various oncogenic proteins, which is promising for research in the field of mTORC1 signaling, HCC and epilepsy.
