Lovastatin Hydroxy Acid, Sodium Salt is an active carboxylate form of Lovastatin (sc-200850), an inhibitor of HMGCR (HMG-CoA reductase) (Ki for acid form is 1 nM). Lovastatin Hydroxy Acid, Sodium Salt is active in whole cells as well as cell-free assays and inhibits cholesterol and isoprenoid biosynthesis. Lovastatin also blocks protein isoprenylation, reduces plasma cholesterol levels in humans, and causes cells to arrest early in the G1 phase.
