Gene Information

human ... DHCR24(1718) , EBP(10682)

Application

Triparanol has been used to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis in lipid rafts1. Triparanol has also been used as a 3β-hydroxysterol-Δ24-reductase inhibitor to study its effect on delayed-rectifier potassium current (Iks) channels2.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Triparanol is known to repress Hedgehog signaling in cancer cells and can also inhibit tumor growth3.
Desmosterol Delta24 (D24) reductase inhibitor.

Preparation Note

Triparanol is soluble in DMSO at 20 mg/ml and is also soluble in alcohol. It is slightly soluble in olive oil and is insoluble in water.

1. The sigma-drug binding site of guinea-pig liver is carried by a protein which shares significant amino acid sequence similarities with the yeast sterol C8-C7 isomerase (ERG2 protein). Pharmacologically-but not structurally-the sigma 1-site is also related to the emopamil binding

We showed previously that 3 distal inhibitors of cholesterol synthesis are highly teratogenic in rats. AY 9944 and BM 15766 inhibit 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, which catalyzes the last step of cholesterol synthesis, and triparanol inhibits Delta(24)-dehydrocholesterol reductase, which catalyzes the last
