TOFA (5-tetradecyloxy-2-furoic acid) is cytotoxic to lung cancer cells NCI-H460 and colon carcinoma cells HCT-8 and HCT-15, with an IC50 at approximately 5.0, 5.0, and 4.5 μg/mL, respectively. TOFA at 1.0–20.0 μg/mL effectively blocks fatty acid synthesis and induces cell death in a dose-dependent manner[1]. TOFA is found to be cytotoxic to COC1 and COC1/DDP cells with IC50 values of ~26.1 and 11.6 μg/mL, respectively. TOFA inhibits the proliferation of the cancer cells examined in a time and dose dependent manner, arrests the cells in the G0/G1 cell cycle phase and induces apoptosis[2]. Acetyl-CoA-carboxylase-α (ACCA) is a key enzyme in the regulation of fatty acids synthesis. Inhibition of ACCA by TOFA decreases fatty acid synthesis and induces caspase activation and cell death in most PCa cell lines[3].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Protocolo
NCI-H460, human lung cancer cells, and HCT-8 and HCT-15 cells (5,000/well) are seeded in 96-well plates overnight and then exposed to TOFA at indicated concentrations (0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 µg/mL) for 72 hours. Viable cells are detected using MTT assay[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Mice: Mice are treated with 50 μL DMSO (control group) or treated with TOFA (50 mg/kg). The drugs are injected intraperitoneally daily for two weeks. Tumor volumes are recorded every two days by measuring dimensions (length and width) with Vernier calipers. The mice are sacrificed four weeks after the final treatment. Tumor weights are measured by a scale[2].
