Zaragozic acid A trisodium salt is a potent inhibitor of mammalian, fungal and Saccharomyces cervisiae squalene synthase. Being a squalene synthase inhibitor, Zaragozic acid A trisodium salt may produce lower plasma cholesterol levels in primates. We offer also offer the free acid form, Zaragozic Acid A (sc-391058), to avoid stability problems associated with hydrolysis of the salt.
