Description
  • Synthetic analog of Lovastatin (Prod. No. AG-CN2-0051).
  • Potent competitive HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.
  • Anti-hypercholesterolemic agent. Cholesterol/isoprenoid biosynthesis inhibitor. Blocks the production of mevalonate, a critical compound in the production of cholesterol and isoprenoids.
  • Inhibits the isoprenylation of Ras and Rho family GTPases .
  • Anticancer compound that causes cell cycle arrest in G1 and G2/M phases through modulation of proteasome in cancer cell lines.
  • SKP2 E3 ligase inhibitor. Decreases the expression of Skp2 and results in the inhibition of Skp2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of p27 and p21, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
  • Smooth muscle cell proliferation inhibitor.
  • Anti-adhesive, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory compound that stimulates bone formation. Suppresses TNF-induced NF-κB activation.
  • Increases cellular resistance to anticancer agents such as doxorubicin and etoposides (Prod. No. AG-CR1-3572).
  • Suppresses ICAM-1-LFA-1 interactions, which blocks virus replication and infection.
  • Anti-hypertensive agent.
  • Inhibitor of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) activation by promoting ferroptosis.
