    Product Description

    Zaragozic acid A is a fungal metabolite that acts as a reversible competitive inhibitor of squalene synthase (Ki = 78 pM in vitro).1 It dose-dependently reduces cholesterol synthesis in HepG2 cells (IC50 = 6 µM) and inhibits hepatic cholesterol synthesis in mice (ED50 = 0.2 mg/kg).1 Zaragozic acid A also inhibits farnesyl transferase (FTase) and geranylgeranyl transferase type I (GGTase I) (IC50s = 216 and 50 nM, respectively).2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
