Description
Lovastatin inhibits HMGCR, blocking the enzyme-catalyzed transformation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA into mevalonate. Lovastatin is a statin natural product isolated from numerous sources including the Pleurotus ostreatus oyster mushroom, demonstrating hypocholesterolemic and antiproliferative properties. The biosynthesis of cholesterol requires mevalonate as a building block and elimination of mevalonate generation subsequently interrupts cholesterol synthesis, leading to a reduction of circulating low-density lipoproteins. Lovastatin demonstrates arrest of the cell cycle at the G1 phase in bladder carcinoma T24 cells.
