Meglutol
(Synonyms: Dicrotalic acid, 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid) Copy Product Info
Meglutol (3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid) is an antilipemic agent which lowers cholesterol, triglycerides, serum beta-lipoproteins and phospholipids. It acts by interfering with the enzymatic steps involved in the conversion of acetate to hydroxymethyl glutaryl coenzyme A as well as inhibiting the activity of HYDROXYMETHYLGLUTARYL COA REDUCTASES which is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.

Product Introduction
Meglutol AI Summary
Meglutol demonstrates a range of biological activities and interactions. It exhibits no inhibition of rat liver HMG-CoA reductase at a concentration of 10e-3 M in vitro. However, at 0.005 M, it shows moderate inhibition (12.0%) of [14C]acetate incorporation into cholesterol with low inhibition (<10.0%) in the incorporation of [14C]acetate into CO2 and long-chain fatty acids. Despite a strong inhibitory constant (Ki = 23.5 nM) and an IC50 value of 4000.0 nM for HMG-CoA reductase, it is noteworthy that it demonstrates diverse pharmacological effects, including hypoglycemic and antihypercholesterolemic activities in mice and humans, respectively. Additionally, Meglutol manifests toxicity towards brine shrimp and mice with reported LD50 values. In the context of antiviral activity, it shows inhibitory effects on SARS-CoV-2, with a low inhibition rate at 20µM. It further demonstrates antagonist and agonist activities at human receptors TBXA2R, CHRM1, and ADRA1A with AC50 values of 13842.0 nM, 9867.1 nM, and 17972.1 nM respectively. However, for other targets, no significant interactions were observed with AC50 values greater than 30000.0 nM..
