N3PT (N3-pyridyl thiamine) is a potent and selective transketolase inhibitor. N3PT is pyrophosphorylated and then binds to transketolase with an K d value of 22 nM (Apo-TK, transketolase lacking bound thiamine).

体外研究(In Vitro)
Transketolase is a key enzyme in pentose phosphate pathway of tumor cells.N3PT (compound 1) shows an average EC50 value of 26 nM against human transketolase in HCT-116 cells.N3PT (1 ppM or 5 ppM) inhibits thiamine-utilizing enzymes activity dramatically without reducing NADPH-containing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
体内研究(In Vivo)
N3PT (compound 1) (100 mg/kg; i.v.; twice a day; 2 weeks) shows inhibitory effect on transketolase activity without significantly anti-tumor activity in HCT-116 tumor-bearing nude mice. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
