E17110 is an LXRβ agonist. E17110 exhibited a significant activation effect on LXRβ (EC50: 0.72 μmol/L). E17110 also increased the expression of ABCA1 and ABCG1 in RAW264.7 macrophages. E17110 significantly decreased cellular lipid accumulation and promoted cholesterol efflux in RAW264.7 macrophages.
C2 L-threo Ceramide is a bioactive sphingolipid and cell-permeable analog of naturally occurring ceramides. It stimulates cholesterol efflux in CHO cells expressing the human ABCA1 receptor when used at a concentration of 10 μM, however, this efflux is 50% less than that stimulated by C2 ceramide . C2 L-threo Ceramide inhibits IL-4 production by 17% in EL4 T cells stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate when used at a concentration of 10 μM. It also induces cell cycle arrest in the G0 G1 phase and a 7-fold increase in sphingosine accumulation as well as inhibits growth of HL-60 leukemia cells.
AZ-1 is an inducer of ABCA1 and apoE. It enhances ABCA1 activity and decreases P2X7 receptor activity. AZ-1 activates endogenous LXR signaling but shows no direct LXRα or LXRβ agonist activity.
