Effect of mevalonate analogues upon cholesterol biosynthesis
Three analogues of mevalonic acid have been found to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis in liver homogenates in the following order of efficacy: 3-methyl-3-hydroxy pentanoic acid > Δ2-3-methyl pentenoic acid > Δ3-3-methyl pentenoic acid. The hydroxy acid produces half the maximum inhibition at a...
