反応手順

Lovastatin is chemically represented as [1S-[1α(R*),3α,7β,8β(2S*,4S*),8αβ]]-2-methylbutanoic acid 1,2,3,7,8,8a-hexahydro-3,7-dimethyl-8-[2-(tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl)ethyl]-1-naphthalenyl ester, and strains producing the compound also produce an acid form of lovastatin, i.e., mevinolinic acid, which is converted into lovastatin(mevinolin) as a lactone form in the course of isolation and recovery.
