An unusual method for the screening of cholesterol antagonists has been employed by Chevillard et al. [405]. They have measured the inhibition of the cholesterol-dependent growth of Blatella germanica larvae in the presence of inhibitors in the cholesterol-containing diet of the larvae. The most active compound in their series was CLXXXI.
