Probucol (DH-581) is an anti-hyperlipidemic drug by lowering the level of cholesterol in the bloodstream by increasing the rate of LDL catabolism. IC50 & Target: Probucol (DH-581) is a drug used to lower LDL and HDL cholesterol yet has little effect on serum-triglyceride or VLDL cholesterol. Probucol (DH-581) inhibited cholesterol efflux up to 80% in J774 macrophages expressing ABCA1. Probucol (DH-581) is an effective inhibitor of ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux without influencing scavenger receptor class B type I-mediated efflux. The inhibition of ABCA1 translocation to the plasma membrane may in part explain the reported in vivo high-density lipoprotein-lowering action of probucol^[1].
