General description

An orally bioavailable benzofuranylallylamine compound that acts as a potent, active site targeting, competitive and reversible inhibitor of 2,3-oxidosqualene:lanosterol cyclase activity (OSC; IC50 ~ 6.5 nM against mammalian) and reduces cholesterol synthesis (IC50 ~ 1.5 nM in HepG2 cells) with minimal buildup of both dioxidosqualene and monooxidosqualene. Downregulates 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase mRNA and synthesis, and exerts less adverse effects in animal models than Statins. Shown to preferentially enhance the DNA-binding affinity of mutant p53 and arrest the growth of human breast cancer cells (IC50 ~ 10 µM).

Preparation Note

The Dlx5 homeobox gene was first implicated as an oncogene in a T-ALL mouse model expressing myristoylated (Myr) Akt2. Furthermore, overexpression of Dlx5 was sufficient to drive T-ALL in mice by directly activating Akt and Notch signaling. These findings implied
