Notes: RR6 is an inhibitor of the pantetheinase vanin-1 (IC50 = 0.54 µM for the recombinant human enzyme) and is a derivative of the CoA precursor D-pantothenic acid (Item No. 17288).{51609} It is selective for vanin-1 over biotinidase, cathepsin B, cathepsin L, and papain (IC50s = >200 µM for all). RR6 is active against P. falciparum (IC50 = 14.5 µM).{51610} It reduces plasma levels of cholesterol and increases plasma levels of free fatty acids in fasted rats when administered in the drinking water at 3 mg/ml.{51609} RR6 decreases neointima formation and macrophage infiltration in aortic allografts in a rat model of transplant vasculopathy.{51608}
