ACAT1/ACAT2 (acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase)
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
PD 128042 potently inhibits ACAT with an IC50 of 73 nM. It also inhibits sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (SOAT1) with an IC50 of 6.95 uM (hSOAT1). In cell-based assays, it decreases cholesteryl ester formation in macrophages and hepatocytes, reducing foam cell formation. It inhibits ACAT isoforms (ACAT1 and ACAT2) by competitively binding to the acyl-CoA substrate site.
|
| ln Vivo |
In rats with pre-existing dyslipidemia, PD 128042 (CI 976) (10–30 mg/kg; gavage, in chronic cholesterol-fed rat model) lowers non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and raises HDL cholesterol [4].
In rats with pre-existing dyslipidemia (chronic cholesterol-fed model), PD 128042 (10-30 mg/kg; gavage) lowers non-HDL cholesterol and increases HDL cholesterol. In rabbits, it decreases plasma total cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, liver cholesteryl esters, and VLDL/LDL cholesteryl ester content. The lipid-regulating activity is due to inhibition of both intestinal and liver ACAT. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Recombinant human ACAT1 or ACAT2 is expressed in insect cells or CHO cells, and microsomal fractions are prepared. The assay uses [14C]-oleoyl-CoA and cholesterol as substrates in a reaction buffer containing potassium phosphate, BSA, and dithiothreitol. Reactions are incubated at 37degC for 10-20 minutes, stopped by organic extraction (chloroform/methanol), and the product (cholesteryl oleate) is separated by TLC and quantified by radiometric detection or scintillation counting. IC50 values are calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
Primary human macrophages (derived from THP-1 cells) or murine J774 macrophages are cultured in RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS. Cells are treated with PD 128042 (0.01-10 uM) for 24 hours in the presence of acetylated LDL (acLDL) to induce foam cell formation. Cellular cholesteryl ester content is measured by enzymatic colorimetric kits after lipid extraction with hexane/isopropanol. Intracellular cholesterol accumulation is visualized by Oil Red O staining. Foam cell formation is quantified microscopically.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Male Sprague-Dawley rats are fed a high-cholesterol diet (1-2% cholesterol, 10% coconut oil) for 2-4 weeks to induce hypercholesterolemia. PD 128042 is formulated in a suitable vehicle (e.g., 0.5% methylcellulose or PEG400) and administered once daily by oral gavage at 10-30 mg/kg for 1-4 weeks. Endpoints include plasma lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides) by enzymatic assays, liver cholesterol content, and aortic fatty streak area (in atherosclerosis models). Rabbit models are also used.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PD 128042 is orally bioavailable with favorable pharmacokinetic properties. In rats, it achieves measurable plasma concentrations following oral administration, with a half-life suitable for once-daily dosing. Detailed PK parameters are available in the literature. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted via bile and urine. Plasma protein binding is moderately high.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Preclinical toxicity studies indicate that PD 128042 is generally well tolerated at therapeutic doses (10-30 mg/kg). At higher doses, reversible elevations in liver enzymes (ALT, AST) may occur. No significant genotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, or target organ toxicity has been reported. The compound has not been approved for clinical use; it is a research tool for ACAT inhibition and atherosclerosis studies.
