Desmosterol is a cholesterol-like molecule. In the Bloch pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis, Desmosterol is a direct precursor of cholesterol. As an endogenous metabolite, Desmosterol is used to study cholesterol metabolism . Desmosterol is an LXR activator and SREBP inhibitor, which can suppress macrophage inflammasome activation and prevent vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. A reduction in Desmosterol promotes the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) in macrophages and pyrin domain-dependent inflammasome activation of NLRP3. Desmosterol holds potential for research in inflammation, metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases .

TASIN-30 is a selective EBP inhibitor with an EC50 of 0.097 μM. TASIN-30 blocks the production of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) and downstream cholesterol biosynthesis processes. TASIN-30 depletes downstream sterols, disrupts the integrity of lipid rafts in tumor cells, accelerates intracellular cholesterol consumption, and inhibits tumor cell proliferation. TASIN-30 induces ferroptosis and apoptosis by reducing 7-DHC levels and increasing phospholipid peroxidation. TASIN-30 achieves tumor suppression in nude mice with osteosarcoma. TASIN-30 can be used in cancer-related research such as colorectal cancer and osteosarcoma .

Gigantol is an orally active bibenzyl compound. Gigantol targets MYC to promote its ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation and inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells. Gigantol exerts anti-lung cancer activity by inducing ferroptosis (Ferroptosis) via the SLC7A11-GPX4 axis. Gigantol restores the sensitivity of mcr-harboring multidrug-resistant bacteria to colistin. Gigantol ameliorates carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury by inhibiting the activation of the JNK/cPLA2/12-LOX inflammatory pathway. Gigantol promotes cholesterol metabolism and progesterone biosynthesis in Leydig cells. Gigantol can be used in studies related to diseases such as lung cancer, multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections, and acute liver injury .

TASIN-1 is a selective inhibitor of truncated APC TR (adenomatous polyposis coli gene) that exerts cytotoxic effects by inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis. TASIN-1 specifically targets colorectal cancer (CRC) cells carrying APC truncated mutations, while having no significant toxicity to wild-type APC cells. TASIN-1 exerts cytotoxic effects by targeting Emopamil binding protein (EBP) to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis, triggering endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and JNK-mediated apoptosis, and inhibiting Akt survival signaling. TASIN-1 can be used to prevent and intervene in APC mutant colorectal cancer .
