Colestolone
Colestolone is a 15-ketosterol compound and an orally active inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase. Colestolone can inhibit the activity of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) in vitro (IC50 = 660 μM). Colestolone is a cholesterol-lowering agent, and can be used in the research of endocrine and metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia.
