PCSK9-IN-9, a natural isocoumarin, inhibits proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9), IDOL, and SREBP2 mRNA expression, demonstrating specificity by inhibiting PCSK9 with an IC50 value of 11.9 μM [1].

Hexacosanol activates AMPK and hepatic autophagy and inhibits SREBP2, resulting in hypocholesterolemic activities and improvement of hepatic steatosis.

5-O-Methylembelin is a natural isocoumarin that inhibits PCSK9 , low-density lipoprotein receptor (IDOL) , and sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP2) mRNA expression [1] .
