用于鉴别HMG-CoA还原酶制剂的以酵母细胞为基础的新的高通量筛选平台和该抑制剂的用途

Summary

It introduces methods of screening, identifying and isolating HMG-CoAR inhibitors. In particular, said method is useful for screening natural raw products. It also provides potent HMG-CoAR inhibitors for treatment and prevention of diseases and conditions associated with elevated cholesterol and/or blood lipid levels

Technology Benefits

High efficient, high-throughput and reproducible method for screening HMG-CoAR inhibitors

Technology Application

Treat and prevent diseases and conditions associated with elevated cholesterol and/or blood lipid levels

Detailed Technology Description

It provides a novel screening method using yeast cells and a kit to identify HMG-CoAR inhibitors. Also it provides a yeast cell-based activity-guided fractionation assay screening platform to identify and isolate HMG-CoAR inhibitors from natural products. Furthermore, it provides composition for treating and preventing diseases and conditions associated with elevated cholesterol and blood lipid level, such as hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemic. The present composition for treating and preventing diseases and conditions associated with elevated cholesterol and blood lipid level comprises an effective amount of an extract of Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Gp).

Usefulness: Novel high-throughput yeast cell-based screening platform for identifying HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and uses of such inhibitors | A new high throughput screening platform for identifying of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors based on yeast cell and application of the inhibitor
Summary: For screening to identify enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoAR) inhibitors; in composition for treating/preventing a disease, condition associated with elevated cholesterol and/or blood lipid level (selected from hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipidemic) (all claimed).
Novelty: Screening to identify enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors involves measuring cell viability of yeast strain containing 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl 1 overexpression plasmid, contacting and adding mevalonate
