Discovery of the ileal apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) permitted development of specific inhibitors of bile acid reabsorption, potentially a new class of cholesterol-lowering agents. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that combining the novel ASBT inhibitor, SC-435, with the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, atorvastatin, would potentiate reductions in LDL-cholesterol and LDL-apolipoprotein B (apoB). ApoB kinetic studies were performed in miniature pigs fed a typical human diet and treated with the combination of SC-435 (5mg/kg/d) plus atorvastatin (3mg/kg/d) (SC-435+A) or placebo. SC-435+A decreased plasma total-cholesterol by 23% and LDL-cholesterol by 40%. Multicompartmental analysis (SAAM II) demonstrated that LDL-apoB significantly decreased by 35%, due primarily to a 45% increase in the LDL-apoB fractional catabolic rate (FCR). SC-435+A significantly decreased hepatic concentrations of free cholesterol and cholesteryl ester and increased hepatic LDL receptor mRNA consequent to increased cholesterol 7

Inhibition of both the apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter and HMG-CoA reductase markedly enhances the clearance of LDL apoB
-hydroxylase expression and activity. In comparison, SC-435 (10mg/kg/d) monotherapy decreased LDL-apoB by 10%, due entirely to an 18% increase in LDL-apoB FCR, whereas atorvastatin monotherapy (3mg/kg/d) decreased LDL-apoB by 30%, due primarily to a 22% reduction in LDL-apoB production. We conclude that SC-435+A potentiates the reduction of LDL-cholesterol and LDL-apoB due to complementary mechanisms of action.
