PCSK9
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9
The protein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is an enzyme encoded by the PCSK9 gene located on human chromosome 1. It is the ninth member of the protein convertase family, a group of enzymes that can activate homologous genes found in many species[1]. PCSK9 is a liver-synthesized protease that plays a major role in regulating the levels of low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR) on the surface of liver cells and can inhibit the LDLR recycling pathway. PCSK9 binds to LDLR on the surface of liver cells, escorts LDLR to lysosomes for degradation, and prevents LDLR from recirculating to the cell membrane, effectively increasing the level of circulating LDL. Therefore, inhibiting the activity of the PCSK9 protease can down-regulate circulating LDL levels. PCSK9 is closely associated with various cardiovascular diseases, especially hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis[2].

Vitisin A
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-142026CAS No.: 142449-89-6Synonyms: (+)-Vitisin AVitisin A ((+)-Vitisin A) is an orally active natural product with multiple pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, anti-pathogenic microorganism, hypoglycemic and lipid-regulating, anti-osteoporotic, neuroprotective and cardiovascular protective effects. Vitisin A exhibits inhibitory effects on human AChE and MAO-B with IC50 values of 1.29 µM and 4.94 µM, respectively. Vitisin A inhibits the ERK, MAPK, NF-κB, STAT1, HMGCR and TRAF6 pathways, downregulates the related phosphorylation and protein expression, while activates the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and upregulates p21 expression. Vitisin A induces tumor cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, inhibits adipogenesis and lipid accumulation, while alleviates oxidative stress, suppresses inflammatory responses, blocks hepatic fibrosis, Cuproptosis and cholesterol synthesis, and increases the expression levels of central BDNF and TrkB. Vitisin A can be used in the research of tumors, infectious diseases, metabolic diseases, bone and joint diseases, liver diseases, skin injuries, as well as neurodegenerative and cognitive dysfunction-related diseases.

Recaticimab
0 ImagesSynonyms: SHR-1209Recaticimab (SHR-1209) is a humanized IgG1 mAb that selectively targets PCSK9. Recaticimab reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), triglyceride (TG), and lipoprotein(a) levels. Recaticimab can be used for hyperlipidemia research.

E28362
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-162562CAS No.: 930017-01-9E28362 is an orally active lipid-lowering agent and a selective PCSK9 antagonist. E28362 blocks the interaction between PCSK9 and LDLR, and induces PCSK9 degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. E28362 significantly increases the levels of cell surface and total LDLR proteins, enhances low-density lipoprotein uptake, thereby effectively reducing plasma lipids, hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride levels. E28362 shows no obvious cytotoxicity at high concentrations, and significantly attenuates atherosclerotic lesions in animal models. E28362 is an important molecule in research of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.
