3-HYDROXY-3-METHYLGLUTARIC ACID Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Meglutol (β-hydroxy-β-methylglutaric acid; HMG) is a hypolipidemic agent that acts via the inhibition of cholesterol synthesis a t the stage of HMG-CoAreductase, blocking the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate. This conversion is the rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis and is the point of physiological feedback control; as such, it appears to be the ideal locus of action for a hypolipidemic agent. Investigational compounds that act by this mechanism include the natural products compactin and mevinolin.

Uses

antihyperlipoproteinemia

Uses

3-Hydroxy-3-methylpentane-1,5-dioic Acid (cas# 503-49-1) is a compound useful in organic synthesis.

Definition

ChEBI: A dicarboxylic acid that is glutaric acid in which one of the two hydrogens at position 3 is substituted by a hydroxy group, while the other is substituted by a methyl group. It has been found to accumulate in urine of patients suffering from HMG-CoA lyase (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase, EC 4.1.3.4) deficiency. It occurs as a plant metabolite in Crotalaria dura.

brand name
