Cholesterol synthesis inhibitor; inhibits both 7-dehydrocholesterol 7-reductase and 8,7-sterol isomerase. A sonic hedgehog inhibitor
생물학적 활성
Inhibitor of hedgehog (Hh) signaling, possibly via several mechanisms. Inhibits Δ 7 -dehydrocholesterol reductase (IC 50 = 13 nM), thus reduces cholesterol biosynthesis, and also inhibits cholesterol esterification. May also directly block the cellular response to Hh proteins. Teratogenic in vivo .
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion.Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects.Inhibits cholesterol synthesis. When heated todecomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx and Cl-.
