Lapaquistat acetate (TAK-475) is a squalene synthase inhibitor, blocking the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to squalene in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. Lapaquistat acetate is effective at lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, but it might cause liver damage. Lapaquistat acetate is used for hypercholesterolemia and mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) research.
