CAS#: 163222-33-1

Description: Ezetimibe, also known as SCH 58235, is a drug that lowers plasma cholesterol levels. It acts by decreasing cholesterol absorption in the small intestine. It may be used alone when other cholesterol-lowering medications are not tolerated, or together with statins (e.g., ezetimibe/simvastatin) when statins alone do not control cholesterol. Ezetimibe is recommended as second line therapy for those intolerant of statins or unable to achieve target LDL cholesterol levels on statins alone by several major medical group practice guidelines, but not by those of the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology.

Product Data:
Biological target: Ezetimibe (SCH 58235) is a potent cholesterol absorption inhibitor. Ezetimibe is a Niemann-Pick C1-like1 (NPC1L1) inhibitor, and is a potent Nrf2 activator.
In vitro activity: Although ezetimibe allowed the cells to take up cholesterol normally, the esterification was abolished. Meanwhile, oleic acid esterification was unaffected. Moreover, ezetimibe activated sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 by approximately 1.5-fold. These results suggest that ezetimibe limited cellular cholesterol mobilization required for lipoprotein assembly. Reference: Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids. 2020 Dec;1865(12):158808. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32860884/
In vivo activity: In addition, EZ (ezetimibe) also maintained the redox status via decreasing the lipid peroxidation and protein-bound carbonyl content (CC) and increasing the activity of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated-paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) and renal antioxidant enzymes as well as also protected renal histopathological features. This study concludes that EZ exhibits antidiabetic and reno-protective properties in diabetic rats. Reference: Arch Physiol Biochem. 2021 Jan 29:1-16. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33508970/
