摘要: The in vitro potencies of a novel inhibitor acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT), E5324 (n-butyl-N''-[2-[3-(5-ethyl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propoxy]-6-methylphenyl]urea), were studied. was found to be potent ACAT microsomes from various tissues and cultured cell homogenate, with IC50 values the range 0.044 0.19 μM. kinetic study on showed that inhibition rat intestine competitive respect oleoyl CoA. inhibited [3H]oleate incorporation into cholesteryl phorbol ester-treated THP-1 lines (IC50=0.44 tμM). rate phospholipids triglycerides not affected by E5324. In an experiment [3H]cholesterol as substrate for ACAT, also [3H]cholesteryl ester synthesis (IC50=0.41 μM). Furthermore, prevented accumulation both esterified total cholesterol acetyl low density lipoprotein-loaded cells. These results indicate is selective prevents macrophages.
