Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) catalyzes the first step in the conversion of saturated fatty acids to unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are required for membrane integrity and for cell proliferation. For these reasons, inhibitors of SCD represent potential treatments for cancer. However, systemically active SCD inhibitors result in skin toxicity, which presents an obstacle to their development
