Synthetic analog of Lovastatin. 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. Smooth muscle cell proliferation inhibitor. Anti-adhesive, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory compound. Proteasome modulator. Stimulates bone formation. Apoptosis inducer. Anticancer compound. Increases cellular resistance to anticancer agents such as doxorubicin and etoposides. Suppresses ICAM-1-LFA-1 interactions, which blocks virus replication and infection. Anti-hypertensive agent. Suppresses TNF-induced NF-kappaB activation. Storage and Stability: Short-term Storage: +4 degrees C Long-term Storage: -20 degrees C Stable for at least 2 years after receipt when stored at -20 degrees C.
