The design and synthesis of a biotin-tagged photoreactive analogue C-4 of the cholesterol absorption inhibitor Ezetimibe is described. Photoaffinity labeling of intestinal brush border membrane vesicles with C-4 and subsequent streptavidin-biotin chromatography leads to selective extraction of a 145 kDa integral membrane protein as the molecular target for cholesterol absorption inhibitors.
