Description | Lovastatin (MK-803) is an HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor, used for lowering cholesterol. |
Targets&IC50 | HMG-CoA reductase:3.4 nM |
In vivo | Lovastatin, initially an inactive lactone, undergoes hydrolysis in the liver to become an active β-hydroxyacid. This key metabolite acts as an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, with a Ki of 1 nM, exhibiting strong binding to human plasma proteins. Both lovastatin and its β-hydroxyacid metabolite can cross the blood-brain and placental barriers. The compound significantly lowers concentrations of apolipoprotein-B-containing lipoproteins, primarily LDL cholesterol, moderately reduces plasma triglycerides, and slightly elevates HDL cholesterol levels. |
Cell Research | Hela cells are treated with lovastatin (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 μg/mL) for 24 h. Cells treated with culture medium serves as a negative control. cell viability is measured using the MTT based colorimetric assay [2]. |
