The cholesterol metabolite 27-hydroxycholesterol inhibits SARS-CoV-2 and is markedly decreased in COVID-19 patients
There is an urgent need to identify antivirals against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in the current COVID-19
pandemic and to contain future similar emergencies early on. Specific side-chain cholesterol oxidation products of ...
24S‐hydroxycholesterol: cellular effects and variations in brain diseases
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-05)
The adult brain exhibit a characteristic cholesterol homeostasis, with low synthesis rate and active catabolism. Brain cholesterol turnover is possible thanks to the action of the enzyme Cytochrome P450 46A1 (CYP46A1) or ...
Combining 25-hydroxycholesterol with an HIV fusion inhibitor peptide: Interaction with biomembrane model systems and human blood cells
(American Chemical Society, 2019-02-28)
The fusion between the viral and the target cell membrane is a crucial step in the life cycle of enveloped viruses. The blocking of this process is a well-known therapeutic approach that led to the development of the fusion ...
Effect of 25-hydroxycholesterol in viral membrane fusion: Insights on HIV inhibition
(Elsevier Science, 2018-05)
Recently, it was demonstrated that 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), an oxidized cholesterol derivative, inhibits human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) entry into its target cells. However, the mechanisms involved in this ...

Regulation of inhibin/activin expression in rat early antral follicles
(Elsevier Ireland, 2009-10)
The aim of the present study was to determine the endocrine activity of cultured early antral follicles (EAF) isolated from prepubertal diethylstilbestrol-treated rats. The effect of steroidogenic substrates and FSH on ...
