SC-26196 has been used as an inhibitor of delta6 (?6) fatty acid desaturase: in mouse inner medullarycollecting duct(IMCD3) and human (female) embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cell culture as Dulbecco?s modified eagle?s medium (DMEM) componentin hepatic HepG2 cellsin glioblastoma cell lines to test its effect post-radiation treatments
Biochem/physiol Actions
SC-26196 is a Delta6 fatty acid desaturase (Delta6D) inhibitor. It specifically inhibited Delta6D activity with an IC(50) value of 100 nM. The rate-limiting step in arachidonic acid synthesis is the desaturation of dietary linoleic acid by Delta6D. SC-26196 completely prevented this conversion of linoleic acid to arachidonic acid.
