Foam Cell Specific LXRα Ligand [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The liver X receptor α (LXRα) is a ligand-dependent nuclear receptor and the major regulator of reverse cholesterol transport in macrophages. This makes it an interesting target for mechanistic study and treatment of atherosclerosis.We optimized a promising stilbenoid structure (STX4) in order to reach nanomolar effective concentrations in LXRα ...
