Lonidamine

Lonidamine (LND) is a drug that interferes with energy metabolism of cancer cells, principally inhibiting aerobic glycolytic activity, by its effect on mitochondrially-bound hexokinase (HK). In such way LND could impair energy-requiring processes, as recovery from potentially lethal damage, induced by radiation treatment and by some cytotoxic drugs. Its therapeutic use is listed as antineoplastics. The directory classifies it as a discontinued API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Diclondazolic Acid and Doridamina. Its PubChem CID is 39562.
