Description

Application

Avasimibe has been used as an inhibitor of acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) in Huh7.5.1 cells for testing its combination with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) and to test its effect on lipid droplet accumulation in acidosis-adapted cancer cells. It may be used as an inhibitor of ACAT to assess cholesterol esterification in Trypanosoma cruzi.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Avasimibe (CI-1011) is an orally bioavailable Acyl-CoA:Cholesterol O-Acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor. It was originally developed as an antilepic drug, and was shown to significantly reduce plasma total triglyceride and VLDL-cholesterol, but later clinical trials were disappointing. ACAT has also been investigated as a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer′s disease. Recent studies have looked at the effects of avasimibe in reducing amyloid pathology by limiting generation and increasing clearance of diffusible amyloid-beta (Abeta).
