U 18666A

{PARAM:[Name]}({[CAS]})
Category Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)
CAS 3039-71-2
Description U 18666A is a cell-permeable and amphiphilic amino-steroid that inhibits cholesterol synthesis and cellular transport via the suppression of 2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase activity. U 18666A also acts as a weak inhibitor of hedgehog (Hh) signaling. It has been shown to reduce serum sterol levels in rats in vivo.

In Vitro U18666A, the antiviral effect is found to result from two events: retarded viral trafficking in the cholesterol-loaded late endosomes/lysosomes and suppresse de novo sterol biosynthesis in treated infected cells. It is also observed an additive antiviral effect of U18666A with C75, a fatty acid synthase inhibitor, suggesting dengue virus relies on both the host cholesterol and fatty acid biosynthesis for successful replication.
