MF438 is an inhibitor of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1; IC50 = 2.3 nM for the rat enzyme), an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a cis double bond at the ∆9 position of stearoyl-CoA to produce oleoyl-CoA. It reduces spheroid formation in NCI H460 and patient-derived non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in a concentration-dependent manner, an effect that can be blocked by oleic acid (Item Nos. 90260 | 24659). MF438 (1 µM) decreases the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1), a marker of cancer stem cells (CSCs), in NCI H460-derived spheroids when used at a concentration of 1...
