Bifendate, Autophagy, and Hepatic Lipid Accumulation
2026-09-17
The reference study shows that bifendate inhibits autophagy at several lysosome-related steps rather than acting at a single checkpoint. In cultured cells, this activity coincided with reduced oleic acid-induced lipid droplet accumulation, providing a mechanistic framework for studying bifendate in hepatic lipid biology while highlighting the need for orthogonal flux and lipid-storage assays.
