A series of 20 mevalonic acid analogs was synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis from [2-14C]-mevalonate in rat liver homogenates. Removal of the 5-hydroxyl group from mevalonic acid produced an active inhibitor, 3-hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid. Removal of the 3-hydroxyl group, addition of an aromatic group in the 3-position, or insertion of a double bond reduced
合成了一系列20个甲羟戊酸类似物,并测试了它们抑制大鼠肝匀浆中[2-14C]-甲羟戊酸的胆固醇生物合成的能力。从甲羟戊酸中除去5-羟基产生了活性抑制剂3-羟基-3-甲基戊酸。除去3-羟基,在3-位添加芳族基团或插入双键会降低抑制活性。在5位上具有芳香族基团或卤化物的化合物是活性抑制剂。活性最高的抑制剂是5-苯基戊酸,在0.064 mM时有50%的抑制作用。
