简介：特比萘芬（terbinafine,商品名＂丁克＂）属丙烯胺类抗真菌药物,具有较广的抗真菌谱,对临床上相应真菌的感染疗效显著。作用机制主要为特异高选择性的抑制真菌膜上的角鲨烯环氧化酶,而对细胞色素P-450无任何作用,无严重的肝、肾副作用,具有杀菌、抑菌双重作用。

简介：生长在代谢恶劣环境中的肿瘤细胞往往得到的血液,氧气和营养物质供应非常匮乏,而在接近40%的浸润性导管癌中均发现乙酰辅酶A合成酶2（ACSS2）具有过量高表达。在代谢应激情况下ACSS2促使肿瘤细胞将乙酸作为额外的营养来源使得肿瘤细胞可以适应恶劣代谢环境维持肿瘤细胞存活。近日,国际期刊Cancercell发表了德国和英国科学家共同合作的这一研究成果。研究人员指出,在许多肿瘤类型中都会有脂肪酸合成通路的选择性激活。
