Description and Uses

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.

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