Beloranib (ZGN-440, CKD-732 free base) hemioxalate is a selective, irreversible inhibitor of methionine aminopeptidase MetAP2 that suppresses appetite and increases energy expenditure. Beloranib hemioxalate blocks the enzymatic cleavage of N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins by forming a covalent bond with MetAP2, thereby regulating fatty acid metabolism, adrenergic signaling, and hypothalamic NF-kappaB expression. Beloranib hemioxalate significantly reduces food intake, body weight, and fat accumulation, while improving glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism. Beloranib hemioxalate also elevates energy expenditure and fat oxidation levels, without affecting body temperature, spontaneous activity, or the inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta. Beloranib hemioxalate can be used in research on obesity and hypothalamic obesity[1][2][3].
