Background:

SR12813 is an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, with an IC50 value of 0.85 μM.

SR-12813 inhibits incorporation of tritiated water into cholesterol with an IC50 of 1.2 μM but has no effect on fatty acid synthesis. Furthermore, SR-12813 reduces cellular 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase activity with an IC50 of 0.85 μM[1]. Both 25-HC and SR-12813 can kill mammalian cells through blocking the synthesis of cholesterol, thereby they are ideal regents for lethal selection. SR-12813 kills HeLa cells at concentration range from 8 μM to 16 μM. SR-12813 kills wild type cells and mutant cells infected by Ad-Cre (SL-5+Cre), but the mutant SL-5 survives this condition. SR-12813 or 25-HC promotes the degradation of the 95-KDa full-length HMG-CoA reductase in wild type HeLa and SL-5 mutant cells[1].
