TASIN-1 Hydrochloride (TASIN-1 HCl) is a selective inhibitor of truncated APC that acts by selectively killing colorectal cancer cells that express truncated APC by reducing cellular cholesterol levels and inducing apoptotic cell death through the ER stress/ROS/JNK signaling in colon cancer cells.

RP 54275 is a naturally occurring fatty acid derivative, a new cholesterol-lowering compound. It activates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) pathway, which is involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism, inflammation and cellular differentiation.

Mal-β-CD, a cellular cholesterol modifier, forms a soluble inclusion complex with cholesterol.

MeIm (compound 7), a peptide mimetic targeting PCSK9, exhibits cholesterol-lowering properties by enhancing the cellular uptake of LDL (EC 50 = 6.04 μM) and obstructing PCSK9's interaction with LDLR (IC 50 = 11.2 μM). This compound is useful for research in cardiovascular diseases.

E17110 is an LXRβ agonist. E17110 exhibited a significant activation effect on LXRβ (EC50: 0.72 μmol/L). E17110 also increased the expression of ABCA1 and ABCG1 in RAW264.7 macrophages. E17110 significantly decreased cellular lipid accumulation and promoted cholesterol efflux in RAW264.7 macrophages.

Taurohyocholic acid (THCA) is a taurine-conjugated form of the porcine-specific primary bile acid hyocholic acid .1THCA inhibits precipitation of cholesterol crystals by stabilizing cholesterol in the liquid-crystalline phase.2It prevents cholestasis and cellular necrosis induced by taurolithocholic acid in isolated rat livers.3THCA levels are increased in the urine of patients with hepatitis B-induced cirrhosis.4

Cholesteryl Lignocerate is a cholesterol ester that can be hydrolysed by acid lipases.

Sphingomyelins (SMs) are bioactive sphingolipids found in mammalian cell membranes.1SMs make up 2-15% of the total organ phospholipid population but are found at higher concentrations in the brain and myelin sheaths surrounding peripheral nerves. They interact with cholesterol to control its distribution within cellular membranes and maintain cholesterol homeostasis in cells. SMs undergo hydrolysis by sphingomyelinase to form ceramides, which are sphingolipid mediators of intracellular signaling.2This product is a mixture of SMs, with variable fatty acyl chain lengths, isolated from buttermilk.

Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, a hydrolase, plays a crucial role in sphingomyelin metabolism by catalyzing the conversion of sphingomyelin into phosphocholine and ceramide. Furthermore, it is instrumental in cellular differentiation, immune and inflammatory responses, as well as intracellular cholesterol trafficking and metabolism [1] [2].

SQLE-IN-1 is a squalene epoxidase (SQLE) inhibitor with anti-tumor activity. It can inhibit the proliferation and migration of liver cancer cell line Huh7, inhibit the production of cellular cholesterol, and increase the expression of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN. expression, inhibiting the protein expression of PI3K and AKT.

st-Ht31, a cell-permeable stearated peptide derived from the amphipathic helix domain of A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs), effectively binds protein kinase A (PKA), impacting PKA's cellular interactions without altering its activity. Specifically, at a 50 µM concentration, it reduces PKA's membrane anchoring in BHK-21 fibroblast reporter assays. Moreover, st-Ht31 at concentrations of 1 and 3 µM decreases both capacitance and hyperactivation in mouse sperm, thereby inhibiting in vitro fertilization. Additionally, at 50 µM, this compound facilitates cholesterol export in BHK-21 cells and RAW 264.7 macrophages expressing ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1), showcasing its multifaceted cellular impacts.

Taurohyocholic acid (THCA), a taurine-conjugated form of porcine-specific primary bile acid hyocholic acid, inhibits cholesterol crystal precipitation by stabilizing cholesterol in the liquid-crystalline phase and prevents cholestasis and cellular necrosis in isolated rat livers induced by taurolithocholic acid. Additionally, THCA levels rise in the urine of patients with hepatitis B-induced cirrhosis.

AlkyneCholesterol is a modified lipid and serves as a click chemistry reagent containing an alkyne group. In the presence of a copper (Cu) catalyst, the terminal alkyne can engage in highly specific ligation reactions with azide-containing reagents. AlkyneCholesterol is useful for tracking cellular cholesterol metabolism and localization.
