| Lovastatin |
Lovastatin, which is an inactive lactone, is hydrolysed after oral administration to the corresponding β-hydroxyacid. This is the major metabolite and an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, an enzyme that catalyses an early and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. |
