The imidazoline-like drug S23515 affects lipid metabolism in hepatocyte by inhibiting the oxidosqualene: lanosterol cyclase activity.

Abstract:

:Imidazoline-like drugs are centrally-acting antihypertensive agents that inhibit the activity of the sympathetic nervous system by interacting with the alpha2-adrenoreceptor and also with a non-adrenergic imidazoline binding site called the imidazoline 1 receptor. Recently, these molecules were proposed to play an additional role in cardiovascular diseases by acting on glucose and lipid metabolism. We used S23515, a potent imidazoline-like molecule acting selectively on blood pressure through the imidazoline 1 receptor, to decipher the effects of these drugs on lipid metabolism. We found that S23515 inhibited specifically and dose-dependently cholesterol synthesis in cultured rodent and primate hepatocytes. This hypocholesterolemic effect was likely due to the inhibition of the oxido:lanosterol cyclase (OSC), a rate-limiting enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. Partial OSC inhibition induced by S23515 led to the generation of 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol, a potent ligand for the liver X receptor (LXR). Furthermore, S23515 increased in human macrophages the expression of both ABCA1 and G1, the 2 ATP binding cassette transporters, which play a pivotal role in the reverse cholesterol transport. Thus, these results suggest that S23515, and potentially other imidazoline-like drugs, could exert hypolipidemic effects in addition to their hypotensive activities.
