Improved synthesis of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA).
An improved method for the chemical synthesis of HMG-CoA is described. The procedure is designed to prevent the formation of 3-acetoxy-HMG-CoA.
متن کامل3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase deficiency
Deficiency of mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase, the rate-limiting enzyme in hepatic ketogenesis, causes potentially life-threatening hypoglycemic hypoketotic coma during fasting periods. In the normal, nonfasting state, patients are completely asymptomatic and show no abnormalities in standard metabolic tests. As a consequence, diagnosing 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synt...
متن کاملModulation of Dendritic Cell Immunobiology via Inhibition of 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) Reductase
The maturation status of dendritic cells determines whether interacting T cells are activated or if they become tolerant. Previously we could induce T cell tolerance by applying a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor (HMGCRI) atorvastatin, which also modulates MHC class II expression and has therapeutic potential in autoimmune disease. Here, we aimed at elucidating the i...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism for inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase by rosuvastatin.
The statins are inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase (HMG-CoAR), and are utilized to decrease levels of atherogenic lipoproteins in patients with, or who are at high risk of, cardiovascular disease. This study describes the inhibition of a recombinant, catalytic fragment of human HMG-CoAR by a new statin, rosuvastatin (CRESTOR(R)). Binding is reversible and involves ...
متن کاملRegulation of hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase and cholesterol synthesis.
Rat liver microsomal 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid (HMG)-coenzyme A reductase (mevalonate:NADP oxidoreductase (acylating CoA), EC 1.1.1.34) exhibits a cyclic rhythm with peak activity at midnight. HMG-CoA reductase from microsomes of rats killed at noon and midnight has similar properties. Cycloheximide completely prevents the 5to IO-fold rise in activity which occurs from 6 p.m. to midnight,...
