Application
6-Fluoromevalonate has been used as a mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase inhibitor:
- to study the effect of mevalonate pathway inhibition on patient-derived brain tumor-initiating cells (BTICs) growth and self-renewal
- to study its effect on induction of trained immunity by β-glucan in monocytes
- to determine the effect of the mevalonate pathway (MVP) on ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) activation

The sterol synthesis inhibitor 6-fluoromevalonate (Fmev) was used to explore the role of mevalonate products in lymphocyte proliferation. Fmev blocks the synthesis of isopentenyl pyrophosphate and all more distal products in the sterol pathway. When cells were cultured in lipoprotein-deficient

1. Recent investigations revealed that isoprenoid compounds serve as key substances for cellular proliferation through post-translational modification. Previously we reported that tissues of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) had a lower activity of isoprenoid biosynthesis when compared with the normotensive control

The role of mevalonate and its products in the regulation of cellular proliferation was examined using 6-fluoromevalonate (Fmev), a compound that blocks the conversion of mevalonate pyrophosphate to isopentenyl pyrophosphate. Fmev suppressed DNA synthesis by a variety of transformed and

Biosynthesis of cantharidin in a blister beetle, Lytta polita, is effectively inhibited by 6-fluoromevalonate. Inhibition is attributed specifically to the fluorine substituent. Biochemical inhibition has not been demonstrated previously for an arthropod's defensive substance.

Drug resistance, metastasis, and a mesenchymal transcriptional program are central features of aggressive breast tumors. The GTPase Arf6, often overexpressed in tumors, is critical to promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition and invasiveness. The metabolic mevalonate pathway (MVP) is associated with tumor invasiveness
