Product Description

Lapaquistat acetate, formerly known as TAK475, is a novel and potent squalene synthase inhibitor used as a cholesterol-lowering drug. As a squalene synthase inhibitor, Lapaquistat block the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to squalene. Lapaquistat acetate was originally designed for treating Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (MKD), it is effective at lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, but it might cause liver damage.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
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.
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.

Additional Infomation
Tak-475 is an oxacycle and an organonitrogen heterocyclic compound.
TAK-475 is a "squalene synthase inhibitor", a type of cholesterol-lowering drug that has not yet been brought to market.
Lapaquistat Acetate is an acetate salt form of lapaquistat, a squalene synthase inhibitor investigated for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.

Drug Indication
Investigated for use/treatment in hyperlipidemia.
Mechanism of Action
Squalene synthase inhibitors are believed to have potential advantages over statins, which inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. HMG-CoA catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate and thus serves as the primary rate-limiting enzyme in the hepatic biosynthesis of cholesterol. Squalene synthase acts downstream of mevalonate, catalyzing the dimerization of farnesyl-pyrophosphate to squalene. This is the first step in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway that is solely committed to the production of cholesterol, and researchers believe that blockade at this site may avoid the effects associated with decreased formation of isoprenolated intermediates and metabolites in the pathway beyond HMG-CoA reductase.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
