Bioactivity | (S)-Mevalonic acid is the isomer of Mevalonic acid (HY-113071). Mevalonic acid ((S)-DCIT) is a precursor substance of the mevalonate pathway,which is essential for cell growth and proliferation. Mevalonic acid is effective in inhibiting Simvastatin (HY-17502)-induced decrease in C2C12 cell viability in vitro. Mevalonic acid can be used in studies of myopathy and heart failure[1][2]. |
