Bioactivity | Larsucosterol (DUR-928) sodium, a cholesterol metabolite, is a potent liver X receptor (LXR) antagonist. Larsucosterol sodium as a potent endogenous regulator decreases lipogenesis. Larsucosterol sodium inhibits the cholesterol biosynthesis via decreasing mRNA levels and inhibiting the activation of SREBP-1[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Larsucosterol (DUR-928; 0-25 μM; 8 h; HepG2 cells) sodium inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis by decreasing HMG-CoA reductase mRNA levels and decreases free [14C] cholesterol in a dose-dependent manner[1].Larsucosterol (0-25 μM; 6 h; HepG2 cells) sodium inhibits HMG-CoA reductase expression by inhibition of both SREBP1 activation and expression in hepatocytes[1].Larsucosterol (0-50 μM; 48 h) sodium increases cell proliferation and decreases apoptosis in macrophages[2].Larsucosterol (0-25 μM; 48 h; macrophages) sodium inhibits activation of liver oxysterol receptor LXRα[2].
