General description

A cell-permeable amphiphilic diamine that blocks cholesterol biosynthesis and its esterification. Specifically blocks 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (Δ7-sterol reductase) activity with IC50= 13 nM. Important tool in Sonic Hedgehog signaling and teratogenicity studies. Also reported to induce a rapid and irreversible reduction in Acidic-Sphingomyelinase activity in fibroblasts.
A cell-permeable, amphiphilic diamine that acts as a potent inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis and esterification and exhibits teratogenic properties. Specifically blocks 7-dehydro-cholesterol reductase (Δ7-sterol reductase; DHC) activity with IC50= 13 nM. Reported to disrupt Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling during embryogenesis in rats. Also reported to induce a rapid and irreversible reduction in acidic-sphingomyelinase activity in fibroblasts.

Recent findings have shown that fatty acid metabolism is profoundly involved in ferroptosis. However, the role of cholesterol in this process remains incompletely understood. In this work, we show that modulating cholesterol levels changes vulnerability of cells to ferroptosis. Cholesterol
