Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Azalanstat is an anti-obesity drug acting as a lanosterol 14α-demethylase inhibitor. Azalanstat has been shown to inhibit cholesterol synthesis in HepG2 cells, human fibroblasts, hamster hepatocytes and hamster liver, by inhibiting the cytochrome P450 enzyme lanosterol 14 alpha-demethylase. When administered orally to hamsters fed regular chow, RS-21607 (50 mg/kg/day) lowered serum cholesterol in a dose-dependent manner (ED50 = 62 mg/kg) in a period of 1 week. It preferentially lowered low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and apo B relative to high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and apo A-1.

More Info
Biological target:
Azalanstat is an anti-obesity drug acting as a lanosterol 14α-demethylase inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
The deduced aa sequence shows a high degree of identity to the yeast LDM (lanosterol 14 alpha-demythylase) sequences, as well as sequences which match typical P-450 sequence motifs. When produced in a baculovirus/insect cell culture system, LDM activity was detected and inhibited by the specific inhibitor azalanstat with an IC50 value of less than 2 nM. The isolation of this full-length coding sequence should facilitate research into understanding the direct and indirect effects of LDM in the regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis and the search for cholesterol-lowering drugs. Reference: Gene. 1995 Aug 19;161(2):243-8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7665087/
In vivo activity:
Therefore, this study investigated the efficacy of azalanstat (AZA), an imidazole-dioxolane, towards inhibiting HO activity in 7-day-old mice. This study found that a single dose of AZA at 500 micromol.kg(-1) body mass (BM) administered i.p. significantly inhibited HO activity and reduced in vivo bilirubin production.
