Description générale

Chemical structure: statin
Mevastatin is a polyketide that belongs to the class of statins. It contains a hydroxy-hexahydronaphthalene ring.

Application

Mevastatin has been used:
  • to analyze its effects on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells by cytotoxic assay
  • as a prenylation inhibitor to analyze its effects on human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells transfected with K-Ras
  • as a statin agent to study its anti-cancer effect on human breast cancer cells and glioblastoma in vitro

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Mevastatin is a selective inhibitor of 3-hydroxy 3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme(A) reductase (HMG-CoA reductase), a major enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis. It acts as a cholesterol-lowering agent. Mevastatin is obtained from various species of fungi. It acts as an antiresorptive agent and has therapeutic effects to treat osteoporosis. Mevastatin inhibits bone resorption by triggering osteoclast apoptosis. It is also involved in the inhibition of prenylation of proteins such as Ras. Mevastatin increases endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) mRNA and protein levels by blocking the geranylgeranylation of transcription factor Rho.

It has recently been suggested that bisphosphonates may have direct antitumor effects in vivo, in addition to their therapeutic antiresorptive properties. Bisphosphonates can inhibit proliferation and cause apoptosis in human myeloma cells in vitro. In macrophages, bisphosphonate-induced apoptosis was recently

Bisphosphonates are currently the most important class of antiresorptive drugs used for the treatment of metabolic bone diseases. Although the molecular targets of bisphosphonates have not been identified, these compounds inhibit bone resorption by mechanisms that can lead to osteoclast

Compactin (mevastatin), which inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, and thus biosynthesis of cholesterol and the prenylation of proteins, inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption. Although it has been suggested that compactin inhibits bone resorption by inducing apoptosis of osteoclasts, the pathway by

Compactin, a hypocholesterolemic molecule, is a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase, which is a regulatory enzyme for cholesterol biosynthesis. The structural similarity and high affinity of the acid form of compactin and HMG, the natural substrate of enzyme, results

The passage of drugs across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits the efficacy of chemotherapy in brain tumours. For instance, the anticancer drug doxorubicin, which is effective against glioblastoma in vitro, has poor efficacy in vivo, because it is extruded by
