Mevastatin |
2-Methyl-butanoic acid [1S-[1-alpha(R*),7-beta,8-beta(2S*,4S*),8a-beta]]-1,2,3,7,8,8a-hexahydro-7-methyl-8-[2-(tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl)ethyl]-1-naphthalenyl ester |
(CAS 73573-88-3) |
 |
Description: |
Mevastatin (Compactin; ML236B) inhibits HMGCR (HMG-CoA reductase) (Ki for acid form is 1 nM) which in turn inhibits isoprenoid biosynthesis and therefore blocks protein isoprenylation and reduces plasma cholesterol levels in humans.
IC50 value: 1 nM (Ki)
Target: HMGCR
Mevastatin induces apoptosis, arrests cancer cells in G1 phase and downregulates cdk 2, 4, and 6, cyclin D1 and E1, p21 and p27. Mevastatin suppresses TNF-induced NF-κB activation (IC50 = ~17 uM), which potentiates apoptosis in human myeloid leukemia cells and thus, may be useful in treating cancer.
