Biological Activity
Description
IC50 & Target
Target: Squalene synthetase[1]
In Vitro
YM-53601 free base inhibits squalene synthase activities in hepatic microsomes from several species of rat, hamster, guinea-pig, rhesus monkey, and human-derived HepG2 cell with IC50s of 90, 170, 46, 45, and 79 nM, respectively[1].
YM-53601 free base inhibits conversion of [3H]farnesyl diphosphate to [3H]squalene by hamster liver squalene synthase with the IC50 of 170 nM[2].
YM-53601 (1 μM) free base potentiates the susceptibility of H35 cells to thapsigargin, lonidamine, and doxorubicin. YM-53601 (1 μM) free base reduces the mitochondrial cholesterol levels in both H35 and HepG2 cells[4].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Liver Cancer Modeling
Liver cancer can be classified into primary liver cancer and secondary liver cancer. Secondary liver cancer is the metastatic liver cancer. Primary liver cancer includes hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and fibrolamellar HCC, of which HCC is the most common form, accounting for approximately 90% of primary liver cancers[1]. HCC mouse models include chemical agent-induced models, transplanted tumor models, and genetic engineered models.
