Description: Lapaquistat acetate, also known as TAK475, is a cholesterol-lowering drug. It is a squalene synthase inhibitor. TAK-475 effectively lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in human. TAK-475 and its active metabolite-I (TAK-475 M-I) inhibit squalene synthase, which catalyzes the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to squalene. TAK-475 inhibited hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis in rats (ED(50), 2.9 mg kg(-1)) and showed lipid-lowering effects in beagle dogs, marmosets, cynomolgus monkeys and Wistar fatty rats.
