| Targets |
Lapaquistat acetate targets squalene synthase, a key enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. By inhibiting this enzyme, it blocks the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate to squalene, a critical step in cholesterol synthesis. It acts downstream of HMG-CoA reductase, the target of statins.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Lapaquistat acetate is a squalene synthase inhibitor, blocking the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate to squalene in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. It has potential anti-inflammatory activity. It attenuates statin-induced cytotoxicity in human skeletal muscle cells and protects guinea pigs from cerivastatin-induced myotoxicity.
|
| ln Vivo |
The dietary supplement laparestat acetate (100 or 200 mg/kg; 32 weeks) lowers triglyceride and cholesterol levels. It has the ability to both decrease and postpone the development of coronary atherosclerotic plaques in animals that are both unstable and numerous.
Lapaquistat acetate has been studied for its cholesterol-lowering effects in vivo. It attenuates statin-induced myotoxicity, suggesting it may have a role in combination therapy with statins. It has been studied for hypercholesterolemia and mevalonate kinase deficiency. It was abandoned before being marketed. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Lapaquistat acetate is evaluated in cell-free enzymatic assays using purified squalene synthase. The compound is incubated with the enzyme and its substrate, farnesyl diphosphate, and the inhibition of squalene synthesis is measured. IC50 values are determined to quantify the potency of inhibition.
|
| Cell Assay |
Lapaquistat acetate is assessed in cell-based assays using hepatic cells to measure its effects on cholesterol biosynthesis. Cells are treated with Lapaquistat acetate, and cholesterol synthesis is measured by assessing the incorporation of labeled precursors. Its ability to attenuate statin-induced cytotoxicity is also studied.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male WHHLMI rabbit, 2 months old [3]
Doses: 100 or 200 mg/kg Route of Administration: Dietary supplement; macrophage-containing/gate-accumulating hazards are transformed into stable fiber hazards in the body [3]. 100 or 200 mg/kg; 32-week Experimental Results: Increased collagen concentration and conversion of coronary plaque to fibromuscular plaque. Inhibits the expression of MMP-1 and PAI-1 in plaques and increases peripheral coenzyme Q10 levels. Lapaquistat acetate is administered in animal models to evaluate its cholesterol-lowering effects and its ability to protect against statin-induced myotoxicity. It has been studied in models of hypercholesterolemia and mevalonate kinase deficiency. However, specific animal study protocols are not extensively documented. |

| Additional Infomation |
Tak-475 is an oxygen heterocyclic compound and an organic nitrogen heterocyclic compound. TAK-475 is a squalene synthase inhibitor, belonging to the category of cholesterol-lowering drugs not yet marketed. Lapaquistat Acetate is the acetate form of lapaquistat, a squalene synthase inhibitor, whose potential for treating hypercholesterolemia is currently being investigated. See also: Lapaquistat (note moved here). Drug Indications Its use for the treatment of hyperlipidemia is being investigated. Mechanism of Action Squalene synthase inhibitors are considered to have potential advantages over statins, which inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase. HMG-CoA catalyzes its own conversion to mevalonate, and is therefore the main rate-limiting enzyme in hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis. Squalene synthase, located downstream of mevalonic acid, catalyzes the dimerization of farnesyl pyrophosphate to squalene. This is the only step in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway responsible for cholesterol production. Researchers believe that blocking this site may prevent the effects of reduced isoprene intermediates and metabolites in the downstream pathway of HMG-CoA reductase.
Lapaquistat acetate is a squalene synthase inhibitor. It is also known as TAK-475. The compound has a CAS number of 189060-13-7. It was a cholesterol-lowering drug candidate that was abandoned. It is used in research to study cholesterol biosynthesis and lipid-lowering therapy. It is not approved for clinical use. |
