Product Information
Name:Acetyllovastatin
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Acetyllovastatin is a semi-synthetic derivative of lovastatin, which is a member of the statin class of pharmaceuticals. It is derived from the natural product lovastatin, originally isolated from the mold Aspergillus terreus, through acetylation to enhance its pharmacological properties. The mode of action of acetyllovastatin involves the inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in the mevalonate pathway responsible for cholesterol biosynthesis. By competitively inhibiting this enzyme, acetyllovastatin effectively reduces intracellular cholesterol levels, leading to upregulation of LDL receptors and increased clearance of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from the bloodstream.
