Application
6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid has been used as pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) inhibitor:
- to study its effects on neurite outgrowth in primary mouse dorsal root ganglia cells
- to induce α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) and pro-collagen I expression and to assess PDH enzyme activity in whole-cell lysates
- to validate basal respiration in tissue respirometry
Biochem/physiol Actions
6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid (CPI-613) is a lipoate analog. It acts as a mitochondrial disrupter by blocking the mitochondrial enzymes pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase.
6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid is an E1α pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) modulator that prevents cancer cells from metabolizing glucose for energy. 6,8-Bis(benzylthio)-octanoic acid has been granted orphan drug status by the US FDA for pancreatic cancer.

TGF-β1 reprograms metabolism in renal fibroblasts, inducing a switch from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis. However, molecular events underpinning this are unknown. Here we identify that TGF-β1 downregulates acetyl-CoA biosynthesis via regulation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). Flow cytometry
