Inhibiting Fatty Acid Oxidation Suppresses Acquired Resistance to Standard Chemotherapy in Melanoma. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci) - "When resistance to initial treatment develops, the older chemotherapy drug Dacarbazine is used. A375 melanoma (BRAFV600E) developed resistance after four weeks of Dabrafenib treatment, yet the combination of Dabrafenib and KN510713 resulted in near-complete remission with no signs of regrowth. Based on these findings, combining FAO inhibitors with first-line therapies may be a promising approach for managing melanoma, regardless of RAF mutation status."

Fatty acid oxidation inhibition with anti-cancer agents abrogated tumor growth in a melanoma cancer model (AACR 2025) - "Using allograft and xenograft models with mouse and human melanoma cancer cells, we investigated the anti-cancer effects of KN510713 in combination with standard chemotherapy. Anti-cancer drug treatment such as dabrafenib and dacarbazine induced fatty acid catabolism as well as mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for ATP production which is the core metabolic pathway for FAO. FAO inhibition abrogated tumor growth by ATP depletion in melanoma. The changes in molecular signaling upon FAO inhibition revealed that ATP levels are a key regulator of all signaling. Thus, combinations of systemic anti-cancer agents with FAO inhibitors have shown excellent anti-cancer activity in mice."

Chemotherapy combined with fatty acid oxidation inhibition completely regressed tumor growth in a pancreatic cancer model (AACR 2025) - "Furthermore, xenograft pancreatic cancer showed completely suppressed effect of KN510713 treated with chemotherapeutics such as irinotecan only or FOLFIRINOX regimen. FAO inhibition stopped tumor growth by ATP depletion in pancreatic cancer... FAO inhibition stopped tumor growth by ATP depletion in pancreatic cancer. The changes in molecular signaling upon FAO inhibition revealed that ATP levels are a key regulator of all signaling. This suggests that whatever the signaling induced by the growth receptor, ATP down-regulation through FAO inhibition may provide a novel therapeutic effect."

NCC’s novel anti-cancer fatty acid oxidation inhibitor OKed to begin clinical trials (Korea Biomedical Review) - "The National Cancer Center (NCC) said on Tuesday that its anti-cancer drug targeting fatty acid oxidation inhibition, KN510713, was approved to enter clinical trials by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) on Wednesday. The small molecule fatty acid oxidation inhibitor, KN510713, is an innovative new anticancer drug developed after 12 years of research....After the NCC applied for a patent and transferring the technology to NCC-Bio in 2023, NCC-Bio completed clinical trial preparation and received approval to begin clinical trials from the MFDS. Accordingly, the clinical team of the NCC will initiate phase 1 clinical trials for the drug to treat pancreatic cancer."
