Compound C75 is an experimental anticancer drug, you wont get your hands on it for some time. It is an inhibitor of FAS or fatty acid synthase. It prevents your body from making fatty acids. Neuropeptide Y......i doubt it has any significance in this drugs effectiveness.
There are many malignancies that sythesize fatty acids at a much faster and larger rate than normal tissues......this drug blocks the fatty acid production killing the cell (i believe the fatty acids are essential in the replication of cell DNA, thus critical for survival).....the good thing is that this drug is highly selective on what it damages.....normal fast proliferating tissues (bone marrow/GI tract) are not damaged in anyway....in fact, the only damage is done to maliganant cells.
Another good thing about this drug is that while blocking FAS, there is an upregulation of another enzyme (its name escapes me) that tells the brain that the body is well fed....this means you can NOT eat, but also NOT suffer the effects from the starvation diet. You dont go catabolic and your michtochondria stay open all day and burn the fat you have instead of going into starvation mode and shutting down.
It is a form of a Butyrolactone (actually, its alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone)....i have the instructions for making it, but alas, my skills as a chemist and lab equipment prevent me from making it.
Fonz, the good news about this is its non stimulatory and it isnt a "fat trapper"....
So its like this:
No making of more fat, no matter how much you eat.
Constant appitite supression with no "starvation mode".
Unchecked fat burning in michtochondria.
Sounds good to me.....
But even better....a Doctor Wakil is working on a different version that doesnt supress appitite so you can eat all day and not get fat (hes tinkering with the rate determining step in the reaction somewhere).
PS...its better than DNP.
Ill try to dig up more that i have on the other enzymes involved in appitite supression.....
