SB 204990 is a potent and specific inhibitor of ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) enzyme. It is for research use only. SB 204990 treatment leads to a decrease in cytosolic Ac-CoA levels, which is expected to decrease acetylated and active β-catenin levels. When administered orally to rats, it is absorbed into the systemic circulation, causing a dose-related decrease in plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In dogs, it also decreases plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels, preferentially decreasing low-density lipoprotein compared with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
