Bifunctional Inhibitors of Mevalonate Kinase and Mevalonate 5-Diphosphate Decarboxylase
摘要:
A bifunctional inhibitor of mevalonate kinase and mevalonate 5-diphosphate decarboxylase was synthesized. Both enzymes are in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway and play an important role in regulating cholesterol biosynthesis. The molecule may become a useful lead compound for further development for treating cardiovascular disease and cancer. This study provides a novel example of a single inhibitor blocking two sequential steps simultaneously in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway.
