Lapaquistat acetate (TAK-475) is a squalene synthase inhibitor, blocking the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to squalene in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway [1] . Lapaquistat acetate is effective at lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol , but it might cause liver damage. Lapaquistat acetate is used for hypercholesterolemia and mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) research [2] .
Squalene synthase [1]
Lapaquistat acetate (diet supplemented; 100 or 200 mg/kg; 32 weeks) decreases plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It delays progression of coronary atherosclerosis and changes coronary atheromatous plaques from unstable, macrophage/lipid accumulation-rich, lesions to stable fibromuscular lesions in vivo [3] .
MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
| Animal Model: | Male WHHLMI rabbits, aged 2 months [3] |
| Dosage: | 100 or 200 mg/kg |
| Administration: | Diet supplemented; 100 or 200 mg/kg; 32 weeks |
| Result: |
Increased collagen concentration and transformed coronary plaques into fibromuscular plaques.
Suppressed the expression of MMP-1 and PAI-1 in the plaque and increased peripheral coenzyme Q10 levels. |
