Figure 1. . The structures of various ACAT inhibitors and biosynthesis of cholesteryl ester by acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase.

Figure 1. 

(A) The structures of ACAT inhibitors, CP-113,181, CI-1011, K604 and CI-976. (B) ACAT transfers the fatty acyl group of long chain fatty acyl-CoA (oleoyl-CoA) to the 3β-hydroxy moiety of cholesterol to produce cholesteryl ester (cholesteryl oleate).
