| Bioactivity | Mevalonic acid (MVA) 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]. | ||||||||||||
