MeIm
MeIm (compound 7) is a high-affinity PCSK9 targeting peptide mimetic with cholesterol-lowering activity. MeIm increases cellular uptake of LDL (EC50=6.04 μM) by inhibiting the binding of PCSK9 to LDLR (IC50=11.2 μM). MeIm can be used in the study of cardiovascular diseases.

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.
