NB-598 hydrochloride is a novel, highly potent and competitive inhibitor of squalene epoxidase (SE), suppressing triglyceride biosynthesis through the farnesol pathway. NB-598 significantly inhibited both basal and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from mouse pancreatic islets. CaV channels were markedly inhibited by NB-598.

ln Vitro |
In MIN6 cells, NB598 (10 μM) decreased total cholesterol levels by 36±7%. In PM, ER, and SG, NB598 significantly decreased cholesterol by 49±2%, 46±7%, and 48±2%, respectively. Under both basal (1 mM glucose) and glucose-stimulated (16.7 mM glucose) conditions, NB598 dose-dependently inhibits insulin secretion. At concentrations up to 10 μM, NB598 increases current deactivation but has no effect on peak outward KV current or the voltage dependence of activation [1]. The synthesis of sterols and sterol esters from [14C]acetate is inhibited by NB-598 (10 μM), while other lipids like phospholipids (PL), free fatty acids (FFA), and triacylglycerols (TG) are not affected. NB-598 decreased ACAT activity by 31% when exogenous liposomal cholesterol was not present. Even at 600 PM liposomal cholesterol concentration, NB-598 caused a 22% reduction in ACAT activity[2]. HepG2 cells' secretion of triacylglycerol and cholesterol into the culture medium is inhibited by NB-598 [3].

ln Vivo |
NB-598, (E)N-ethyl-N-(6,6-dimethyl-2-hepten-4-ynyl)-3-[(3,3'-bith iophen-5-yl)methoxy]benzene-methanamine, was found to inhibit human microsomal squalene epoxidase (from Hep G2 cells) in a competitive manner. NB-598 inhibited cholesterol synthesis from [14C]acetate dose dependently in Hep G2 cells and increased the intracellular radioactivity of squalene. A single oral administration of NB-598 inhibited cholesterol synthesis from [14C]acetate in rats. Moreover, multiple oral administration of NB-598 to dogs decreased serum total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and increased serum squalene levels. After termination of treatment, the reduced serum cholesterol and increased squalene levels returned to their control values[4].

Enzyme Assay |
NB-598, a specific inhibitor of squalene epoxidase, suppressed the secretion of cholesterol and triacylglycerol from HepG2 cells into the medium. L-654,969, an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, inhibited the secretion of cholesterol as potently as NB-598, but did not suppress the secretion of triacylglycerol. Both compounds decreased the intracellular cholesterol content almost equally, and neither of the compounds reduced the intracellular triacylglycerol content. The suppression of lipid secretion by NB-598 was associated with a significant reduction in apolipoprotein (apo) B secretion into the medium. Therefore, the suppression of lipid secretion by NB-598 may be caused by a reduction in the number of triacylglycerol-rich lipoprotein particles. In contrast, the suppression of cholesterol secretion by L-654,969 may be due to a modulation of lipoprotein lipid composition, since this agent did not reduce the secretion of apo B or triacylglycerol. The secretion of apo A-I was unaffected by either NB-598 or L-654,969. Pulse chase studies using [35S]methionine showed that the suppression of apo B secretion by NB-598 depended on an enhancement of intracellular degradation of apo B. These results indicate that the secretion of apo B from HepG2 cells is not regulated by the lipid synthesis alone, and suggest that the mechanism of the hypolipidemic effect of NB-598 involves the suppression of triacylglycerol-rich lipoprotein secretion from the liver as well as an inhibition of cholesterol synthesis in the liver[3].

Cell Assay |
Subcellular fractionation of plasma membranes, endoplasmic reticulum, and insulin secretory granules[1]
MIN6 cells (4 × 108) were cultured for 48 h at 37 C in the culture medium supplemented with 10% delipidated FBS, in the absence or presence of 10 μM NB598. The cells were harvested and homogenized in fractionation buffers: 50 mM 2-(N-morpholino) ethane sulfonic acid (MES), 250 mM sucrose (pH 7.2) for plasma membrane (PM) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER); 10 mM 3[N-morholino]propanesulfonic acid-Tris, 270 mM sucrose (pH 6.8) for insulin secretory granules (SG). Fractionations for PM and ER were performed by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation established by Ramanadham et al. Insulin secretory granules were fractionated with Histodenz gradient ultracentrifugation followed by Percoll purification, as established by Brunner et al. The isolated subcellular fractions were stored at −20 C for protein concentration determination and cholesterol extraction.
