Disease relevance of Esterastin

 

High impact information on Esterastin

  • The limiting membrane, however, could not be observed after further incubation for 48 h in the presence of esterastin, which is known to be an inhibitor of lipase and esterase [2].
  • Esterastin inhibited the enzyme activity very strongly (IC50, about 80 nM) [3].
  • Rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells in culture were incubated with 0.04-500 M esterastin [4].
  • The effects of esterastin, an acid lipase inhibitor, on the free and esterified cholesterol contents of cultured smooth muscle cells from pig aorta were examined [5].
