Description

Melinamide, an amide derivative of an unsaturated long-chain fatty acid, is an inhibitor of cholesterol absorption with an IC50 of 20.9 μM.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 20.9 μM (cholesterol)[1]

In Vitro

DL-Melinamide inhibits acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase activity (ACAT) in the mucosal microsomes, with 50% inhibition occurring at approximately 0.5 μM. Kinetic studies indicate that DL-Melinamide is an uncompetitive inhibitor of acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase. D-Melinamide is found to be a more effective inhibitor than L-Melinamide[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Melinamide is a new hypocholesterolaemic drug. Melinamide causes a substantial decrease of the enhanced intestinal ACAT activity in diabetic rats, but does not affect intestinal cholesterol esterase activity. Furthermore, marked improvement of hypercholesterolaemia in cholesterol-fed diabetic rats occurrs concomitantly with the drug treatment[3].

Animal Administration
[3]

Rats: 10 diabetic rats are divided into two groups: a cholesterol-fed diabetic group and a melinamide-treated cholesterol-fed diabetic group. Five control rats are injected with citrate buffer only. The rats are fed each diet for 3 weeks after injection. The chol-fed DM group receives a diet (20 g/day) containing 1% cholesterol, 0.5% cholic acid and 5% lard. The melinamide-treated group receives the same diet but supplemented with 0.1% melinamide. Control rats are fed a standard chow (20 g/day). Following a 24-h fast the animals are killed. Blood is collected by aortic puncture and samples of small intestine are retained[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
