Description
Mevastatin (Compactin) inhibits HMGCR (HMG-CoA reductase) , induces apoptosis which in turn inhibits isoprenoid biosynthesis and therefore blocks protein isoprenylation and reduces plasma cholesterol levels in humans. Mevastatin causes cells to arrest early in the G1 phase. Mevastatin is a close structural analog of lovastatin and both agents have the same biochemical and pharmacological activities. Mevastatin is inactive in cell-free assays. In cells however, it is hydrolyzed to the active free acid form by intracellular esterases.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
