  • Inhibition of the carboxyltransferase component of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and the use of such inhibition in anti-cancer and anti-lipogenic therapies
    Patent number: 6485941
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for inhibiting carboxyltransferase with bisubstrate analogs. One such analog has been shown to inhibit the carboxyltransferase component of E. coli acetyl-CoA carboxylase.
