Triparanol is a 24-dehydro cholesterol reductase (DHCR24) inhibitor (Ki = 0.523 µM), which is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.{34169,34196} It has antitumor properties, such as decreasing proliferation and inducing apoptosis in many cancer cell lines and slowing tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model.{34170} It can also decrease Hedgehog pathway signaling in cancer cells. Formulations containing triparanol were discontinued in the 1960s due to serious adverse side effects, including rapid cataract development.{34171,34172}
