Product Overview:
Impaired trafficking of cholesterol to or from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has been implicated in many disease states including Neimann-Pick disease type C (NPC), Alzheimers disease and atherosclerosis. U-18666A is a cell permeable drug that inhibits cholesterol trafficking. It inhibits cholesterol transport from late endosomes/lysosomes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), but not cholesterol transport to the plasma membrane as demonstrated in many cell types including macrophages, primary cortical neurons and primary fibroblasts.{14577,14579,14578} In macrophages, micromolar concentrations of U-18666A inhibit multiple pathways of cholesterol trafficking from late endosomes, whereas nanomolar concentrations impair cholesterol trafficking to the ER, a response similar to that found in NPC. U-18666A inhibits oxidosqualene cyclase at high (>0.5 mM) concentrations and oral doses (10 mg/kg) induces cataracts in rats.{14577}

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
