Notes: LCQ-908 is an inhibitor of diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1; IC50 = 57 nM).{72537} It is selective for DGAT1 over DGAT2, acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase-1 (ACAT-1), and ACAT-2 (IC50s = >10,000 nM for all). LCQ-908 (50 µM) also inhibits hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in HCV-infected Huh7.5 cells.{72538} It inhibits palmitic acid-induced apoptosis and increases in triglyceride levels in MIN6 pancreatic β-cells when used at a concentration of 1 µM.{72539} In vivo, LCQ-908 (1 mg/kg) decreases serum triglyceride levels in an oral lipid tolerance test in dogs.{72537}
