Background:

SB 204990 is a potent and specific inhibitor of ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) enzyme.

SB204990 (SB) is a specific inhibitor of ACLY enzyme. SB204990 treatment leads to a decrease in cytosolic Ac-CoA level and is thus expected to decrease acetylated and active β-catenin levels[1].

SB 204990, when administered orally to rats, is absorbed into the systemic circulation. When administered in the diet (0.05-0.25%, w/w) for 1 week, SB 204990 causes a dose-related decrease in plasma cholesterol (by up to 46%) and triglyceride levels (by up to 80%) in rats. SB 204990 (25 mg/kg per day) also decreases plasma cholesterol levels (by up to 23%) and triglyceride levels (by up to 38%) in the dog, preferentially decreasing low-density lipoprotein compared with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels[2].
