Application
CI 976 has been used as an acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor:
- to analyze its anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity in Huh7.5.1 cells
- to treat Neuro-2a cells to test its effect on plasma membrane integrated density of α4-SEPβ2 or α6-SEPβ2β3 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)
- to study its effects on the anti-angiogenic activity of pyripyropenes in human umbilical vein endothelial cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
CI-976, a new trimethoxy fatty acid anilide, is a potent and specific inhibitor of liver and intestinal acyl coenzyme A; cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) in vitro. CI-976 decreased non-high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol in rats with pre-established dyslipidemia. High performance gel chromatographic separation of plasma lipoproteins also revealed that CI-976, but not CL 277,082, lowered low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and elevated HDL-cholesterol.
