General description

DL-3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) is obtained from acetyl-CoA and acetoacetyl-CoA during condensation with the help of HMG-CoA synthase.

Application

DL-3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A sodium salt hydrate has been used in drug treatment to study its effect on mTORC1 regulation. It has also been used to compare the acylomes of two reactive acyl-CoA species, like HMG-CoA and glutaryl-CoA.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DL-3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) is a substrate used to study the specificity and kinetics of the enzyme 3-hydroxyl-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. HMG-CoA is the key intermediate in the biosynthsis of terpenes and ketone bodies. Its metabolism is the target of statin drugs used to control cholesterol levels.
DL-3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) acts as a precursor of cholesterol synthesis. Inhibition of HMG-CoA can decrease cholesterol synthesis. This can be converted to β-hydroxybutyrate in the blood. HMG-CoA is a regulatory enzyme for cholesterol biosynthesis, it couples with LDL receptor to regulate cholesterol synthesis, once it is inhibited it would decrease cholesterol synthesis.

Cholesterol Biosynthesis

Biosynthesis of cholesterol generally takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatic cells and begins with acetyl- CoA, which is mainly derived from an oxidation reaction in the mitochondria. Acetyl-CoA and acetoacetyl-CoA are converted to 3-hydroxy- 3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) by HMG-CoA synthase.

Dietary Terpenes

Terpenes comprise the largest and most diverse class of secondary metabolites; approximately 55,000 compounds have been identified to date.

Antilipemic Agents

Randomized controlled clinical studies have suggested 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) are effective in both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
