TOFA用作可用作：间充质基质细胞(MSC)、人类多功能干细胞中的脂类生化合成抑制剂。小鼠脂肪细胞系中的乙酰-辅酶A羧化酶1抑制剂。一种癌症干细胞(CSC)的脂解抑制剂。 TOFA已被用作 ACC抑制剂，以研究其对 INS-1E细胞中胰岛素分泌的影响。 TOFA has been used as a lipid biosynthesis inhibitor in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), human pluripotent stem cells., an acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 inhibitor in murine adipocyte cell lines., a lipolysis inhibitor in cancer stem cells (CSCs). TOFA has been used as an ACC inhibitor to study its effect on insulin secretion in INS-1E cells.
