General description
A cell-permeable, nonsterol, benzenesulfonamide compound that acts as a highly selective and potent liver X receptor agonist (EC50 of 20 nM for LXRα). Reported to induce the expression of genes associated with fatty acid biosynthesis and raise both the levels of serum HDL cholesterol and triglyceride in mice. Also reduces the development of atherosclerosis in LDL receptor-deficient mice and lowers plasma glucose in diabetic rodents.
