Background
24 (S) -Hydroxycholesterol is an important cholesterol metabolite (cholesterol 24-hydroxylase) found in the brain.1 It is an endogenous agonist of the nuclear receptor LXR.2 It has been shown to induce cell death in neuroblastoma cells3, possibly via a necroptosis pathway4. 24 (S) -Hydroxycholesterol has also been found to be a high affinity ligand for RORα and RORγ (Ki = 25 nM) .5 24 (S) -Hydroxycholesterol levels are elevated in the cerebral spinal fluids of patients with neurogenerative diseases suggesting possible clinical applications.6,7 It was also able to reduce Aβ production and increase ER-resident immature amyloid precursor protein (APP) levels in human neuroblastoma SH-Sy5Y cells and CHO cells via inhibition of intracellular amyloid precursor protein trafficking.7
