To identify the novel inhibitor of de novo lipogenesis in hepatocytes, we screened for inhibitory activity of triglyceride (TG) synthesis using [14C]acetate in the human hepatoma cell line, HepG2. Using this assay system we discovered the novel compound, benzofuranyl alpha-pyrone (TEI-B00422). TEI-B00422 also inhibited the incorporation of acetate into the triglyceride (TG) fraction in rat primary hepatocytes. In HepG2 cells, the incorporation of oleate into TG was unaffected. TEI-B00422 inhibited rat hepatic acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), K(i)=3.3 microM, in a competitive manner with respect to acety-CoA but not fatty acid synthase and acyl-CoA transferase/diacylglycerol. Thus, these results suggest that the inhibition of TG synthesis by TEI-B00422 is based on the inhibitory action of ACC. The structure of TEI-B00422 is totally different from the known inhibitors of ACC and may be useful in the development of therapeutic agents to combat a number of metabolic disorders.
