General description
GW6471 prevents apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 in renal cell carcinoma. It reduces enhanced fatty acid oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation associated with glycolysis inhibition.
Application
GW6471 has been used:
- to investigate the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) alpha in perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) induced developmental cardiotoxicity
- to abolish the protection of bezafibrate (BZA) against hypertrophy
- to block the enhanced activity of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) core promoter
Biochem/physiol Actions
GW6471 is a PPARα antagonist, which completely inhibits GW409544-induced activation of PPARα with an IC50 = 0.24 μM. GW6471 induces a PPARα conformation that interacts efficiently with co-repressors.
