Applications
DescriptionDL-Mevalonolactone is the δ-lactone form of mevalonic acid, a precursor in the mevalonate pathway. It induces depolarization and swelling, decreases NADPH content and aconitase (ACO) activity, and increases malondialdehyde (MDA) production in calcium-loaded rat brain mitochondria. DL-Mevalonolactone reverses decreases in glucose uptake induced by simvastatin (Item Nos. 10010344 | 10010345) in L6 myotubes. Tissue levels and urinary excretion of DL-mevalonolactone are increased in patients with mevalonic aciduria, a disorder characterized by a deficiency in mevalonic kinase activity.
UsesA metabolite from endophytes of the medicinal plant Erythrina crista-galli.
UsesHMG CoA substrate
Uses(±)-Mevalonolactone is used to:study the effect of statin on the prenylation of Ras and Rho GTPasesanalyse the isoprenoid biosynthesis pathways in Listeria monocytogenesstudy the the effects of statins on proliferation and migration of HUVECs (HGF-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells)
General DescriptionAlkaline hydrolysis of mevalonolactone gives mevalonate. Mevalonate is a precursor of farnesyl and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphates. These pyrophosphates are required for protein prenylation.
