Biological Activity
YM-53601 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 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) potentiates the susceptibility of H35 cells to thapsigargin, lonidamine, and doxorubicin. YM-53601 (1 μM) reduces the mitochondrial cholesterol levels in both H35 and HepG2 cells[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
