[In Vitro]

Zaragozic acid B is a very potent inhibitor of squalene synthases from all three sources (RSS: rat liver microsome; YSS: Candida albicans; HSS: Hep G2 cells) with the IC50 values range from 0.22 to 0.67 nM[1]. Zaragozic acid B inhibits bovine FPTase (IC50=100 nM), human FPTase (IC50=185 nM)[1].
