Application

CI 976 has been used as an acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor:
  • to analyze its anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity in Huh7.5.1 cells
  • to treat Neuro-2a cells to test its effect on plasma membrane integrated density of α4-SEPβ2 or α6-SEPβ2β3 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)
  • to study its effects on the anti-angiogenic activity of pyripyropenes in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

CI-976, a new trimethoxy fatty acid anilide, is a potent and specific inhibitor of liver and intestinal acyl coenzyme A; cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) in vitro. CI-976 decreased non-high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol in rats with pre-established dyslipidemia. High performance gel chromatographic separation of plasma lipoproteins also revealed that CI-976, but not CL 277,082, lowered low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and elevated HDL-cholesterol.

R-755 (N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N'-[3-(2-methylphenyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[f[l]benzothiophen-2-yl]urea), a novel acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor, has been characterized in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo. R-755 potently inhibited ACAT activities, with IC50 values from 2.5 to 64 nM, in rabbit intestinal microsomes and several cell lines (CaCo-2

Recent studies have suggested that formation of Golgi membrane tubules involves the generation of membrane-associated lysophospholipids by a cytoplasmic Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (PLA2). Herein, we provide additional support for this idea by showing that inhibition of lysophospholipid reacylation by a

The cholesteryl ester, foam cell-enriched vulnerable plaque is a principle pharmacological target for reducing athero-thrombosis. Acyl CoA:cholesterol Acyl Transferase (ACAT) catalyzes the esterification of free cholesterol in intestine, liver, adrenal and macrophages, leading in the latter cells to intracellular cholesteryl

In the course of our search for anti-angiogenic substances, pyripyropenes A (1), B (2), and D (3) were re-discovered as selective anti-proliferative substances against human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) from a marine-derived fungus of Aspergillus sp. Pyripyropenes showed potent
