Synthetic organic
Comment: DASA-58 is an activator of tumour-associated pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) [2]. PKM2 activation has potential to interfere with the anabolic metabolic pathway that is utilised by cancer cells to maintain high levels of proliferation. Like TEPP-46, DASA-58 promotes formation of highly active PKM2 tetramers and suppresses tumour expansion in vivo [1].
