AZ-1355 (150 mg/kg) reproducibly lowers serum total cholesterol (TC) in the Triton hyperlipidemic mice. AZ-1355 (50 mg/kg) significantly reduces serum TG and the 100 mg/kg dose results in serum TC and TG reduction in rats. AZ-1355 (100 mg/kg) reduces total liver TC in rats fed CE-2, and the 50 mg/kg dose reduces hepatic TC in rats fed the high-fat diet on both bases, and it also reduces the total hepatic TG of the CE-2 fed rats[1].
