Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is significantly upregulated in glioblastoma (GBM) and plays a crucial role in cell apoptosis and drug resistance. Micheliolide (MCL) is a natural product with a variety of antitumour activities, and the fumarate salt form of dimethylamino MCL (DMAMCL; commercial name ACT001) has been tested in clinical trials for recurrent GBM; this compound suppresses the proliferation of GBM cells by rewiring aerobic glycolysis. Herein, we demonstrated that MCL directly targets GAPDH through covalent binding to the cysteine 247 (Cys247) residue.
