METHOD OF INDUCING APOPTOSIS AND INHIBITING CARDIOLIPIN SYNTHESIS
摘要
The present invention provides a method for inducing apoptosis within a cell by exposing the cell to an inhibitor of cardiolipin synthesis under conditions sufficient to induce apoptosis within the cell. The method can be used to investigate or treat disorders such as cancer, obesity, and cardiovascular disorders. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition including an inhibitor of cardiolipin synthesis and a liposomal carrier.
