Description of Avasimibe

Avasimibe is a selective and oral acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor (IC50=12μmol/L)[1]. Avasimibe suppressed CYP2C9 (IC50=2.9μmol/L), CYP1A2 (IC50=13.9μmol/L), and CYP2C19 (IC50=26.5 μμmol/L)[2]. Avasimibe has been used in lipid-lowering research and anti-cancer research[3].

In vitro, Avasimibe demonstrated a dose-dependent suppression of U251 and U87 human glioblastoma cell proliferation with IC50 values of 20.29μmol/L and 28.27μmol/L, respectively after 48 hours of treatment[4]. When exposed to Avasimibe for 48 hours at 30μmol/L, U251 and U87 human glioblastoma cells showed decreased DNA synthesis together with suppressed cell clone formation[4]. The prostate cancer cells PC-3 and DU 145 showed decreased viability after receiving Avasimibe treatment at 20μmol/L concentration over 72 hours, which led to decreased sterol O-acyltransferase (SOAT) expression levels[5]. Avasimibe treatment at 20μmol/L for 48 hours reduced T24 cell proliferation and migration while increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, accompanied by the upregulation of the expressions of ROS metabolism-related proteins SOD2 and catalase[6].

In vivo, Avasimibe treatment (25mg/kg/day; 28 days) via oral administration to miniature pigs fed a fat- and cholesterol-containing diet significantly decreased the secretion of hepatic apolipoprotein (apo) B containing lipoproteins into plasma[7]. In the asthma mouse model, intratracheal injection of Avasimibe at 20mg/kg significantly reduced the production of IL-4 and IL-5 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and total IgE in serum, resulting in reduced mucus secretion in the airway epithelium of mice, decreased goblet cells and basal cells[8].

Protocol of Avasimibe

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

T24 cells

Preparation Method

The T24 cells grew in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum inside a 37ºC incubator under 5% CO2 conditions. Each well of the 96-well plate received 200μL of medium containing 3,000 cells before being treated with Avasimibe at concentrations of 0, 10 and 20μmol/L. Following a treatment period of 48 hours with Avasimibe, add 20μL of 5mg/mL MTT solution. The medium was taken out of the 96-well plate following a 4-hour incubation and then 150μL of DMSO was added to each well. Place the shaker device in operation for 10 minutes with gentle motion until the formazan precipitate fully dissolves. The absorbance of each well at 570nm was measured using a microplate reader in order to determine cell viability.

Reaction Conditions

0, 10 and 20μmol/L; 48h

Applications

Avasimibe significantly inhibited the viability of T24 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment []:

Animal models

Female BALB/c-nu nude mice

Preparation Method

The experiment involved six-week-old female BALB/c-nu nude mice with a body weight range of 15-18g. Implant U87 cells at a concentration of 1×107cells per mouse into the right flank area of each mouse. After 14 days, the mice with a minimum tumor volume of 100mm3 were randomly assigned to three experimental groups of six mice each. The mice received daily intraperitoneal injections with 30mg/kg Avasimibe or no treatment for a period of 18 days. The tumor volume was measured using a Vernier caliper and calculated according to the following modified ellipsoid formula: tumor volume (mm3)=(length)×(width)2×0.5. The experiment concluded by sacrificing all mice and collecting their tumor tissues for weighing and photographic documentation.

Dosage form

30mg/kg/day for 18 days; i.p.

Applications

Avasimibe treatment significantly inhibited the volume and weight of xenograft tumors in mice without changing the body weight of the mice.
