Abstract

Abstract We identified a novel organic compound, 4-(3′-bromobenzoyl)-6, 7- dimethoxyquinazoline (compound WHI-P164), as a potent inhibitor of triglyceride (TG) synthesis. In an in vitro model of lipid synthesis, WHI-P164 (but not any one of the three structurally similar control dimethoxyquinazoline compounds) inhibited the accumulation of TG-rich intracellular lipid droplets in Caco-2 human intestinal cells in a concentration- ...
