Preferred Label : lovastatin;
MeSH definition : A fungal metabolite isolated from cultures of Aspergillus terreus. The compound is
a potent anticholesteremic agent. It inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme
A reductase (HYDROXYMETHYLGLUTARYL COA REDUCTASES), which is the rate-limiting enzyme
in cholesterol biosynthesis. It also stimulates the production of low-density lipoprotein
receptors in the liver.;
