PCSK9-IN-29 is a lipid-lowering agent. PCSK9-IN-29 can increase low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) protein expression and decrease PCSK9 protein expression in hepG2 cells. PCSK9-IN-29 can reduce the levels of serum LDL-C, TC, and liver enzyme ALT in crab eating macaques fed a high-fat diet, lower body weight and fat, and increase bone mineral content. PCSK9-IN-29 can be used for research on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and obesity[1].
