Description: | Lapaquistat acetate (TAK-475) is a squalene synthase inhibitor, blocking the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to squalene in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. Lapaquistat acetate is effective at lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, but it might cause liver damage. Lapaquistat acetate is used for hypercholesterolemia and mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) research. |
Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
