MedKoo Cat#: 406842 | Name: Avasimibe

Description:

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

Avasimibe is an acyl coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor. Avasimibe can also reduce the synthesis and secretion of Apo B 100 in HepG2 cells. Avasimibe encapsulated in human serum albumin blocks cholesterol esterification for selective cancer treatment. Avasimibe could be an efficient therapy in the treatment of glioblastoma.

Biological target:

Avasimibe is an oral inhibitor of acyl-Coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) with IC50s of 24 and 9.2 µM for ACAT1 and ACAT2, respectively.

In vitro activity:

LLC cells were treated with different avasimibe concentrations to inhibit ACAT-1, revealing a significant dose- and time-dependent suppression of proliferation as revealed using a CCK-8 assay (P<0.05; Fig. 1A and B). The cell viability rates in the blank group and the avasimibe (2.5, 5, 10 and 20 µM) groups were 100.00±0.00, 63.57±4.88, 45.47±5.35, 37.66±3.72 and 30.59±1.24%, respectively (Fig. 1A). In addition, the viability of the control group and the groups at 1, 2, 3 and 4 days were 100.00±0.00, 72.21±4.50, 58.60±5.25, 46.11±3.9 and 39.02±3.04%, respectively (Fig. 1B). These results therefore demonstrated that avasimbe inhibits LLC cell proliferation compared with the controls.

In vivo activity:

In vivo activity To explore the effect of avasimibe on glioma in vivo, a xenograft tumour assay was conducted. LN229 (1.0 × 107) cells treated with avasimibe or treated with avasimibe and transfected with linc00339 plasmid were subcutaneously injected into nude mice. The volume of the tumour was measured every week. Four weeks after injection, the mice were sacrificed, and the weight of the tumour was measured. By comparison, avasimibe could inhibit the volume and mass of tumours, and this inhibitory effect could be reversed with overexpression of linc00339 (Fig. 5A–C). Next, this study detected linc00339 expression in the three groups and found that avasimibe could suppress the expression of linc00339 in the model (Fig. 5D). Taken together, these results suggested that avasimibe inhibits glioma growth in vivo, and this regulation is related to linc00339 expression.
