TOFA (54857-86-2) interferes with fatty acid synthase via inhibition of acetyl Co-A carboxylase (ACC1).1 Induces apoptosis in a variety of tumor cell lines.2,3 Stimulates neurite outgrowth and neuronal differentiation in rat pheochromocytoma cells.4 TOFA impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion after chronic treatment.5
