YM-53601 inhibits squalene synthase activity in hepatic microsomes of several rat, hamster, guinea pig, rhesus monkey, and human HepG2 cell lines, with IC50 values of 90, 170, 46, 45, and 79 nM, respectively.
YM-53601 inhibits the conversion of [3H]farnesyl diphosphate to [3H]squalene by hamster hepatic squalene synthase, with an IC50 of 170 nM.
YM-53601 (1 μM) enhances the sensitivity of H35 cells to toxic carotene, lonidamine, and doxorubicin. YM-53601 (1 μM) reduces mitochondrial cholesterol levels in H35 and HepG2 cells.
