Monacolin L acid

CAS: 132685-03-1

Monacolin L acid is an analog of the natural compound lovastatin, which is found in Chinese red yeast rice. It has been shown to have potent anticancer activity by inhibiting kinases involved in cancer cell growth and survival. Monacolin L acid specifically targets human protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) and induces apoptosis in tumor cells, making it a promising candidate for cancer therapy. This compound has also been found to inhibit the activity of rifampicin, an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis infections. Additionally, Monacolin L acid has been detected in human urine after consumption of red yeast rice supplements, indicating its potential as a dietary supplement for cancer prevention and treatment.
