Mevastatin
Based on 7 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Mevastatin (Compactin) is a first HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that belongs to the statins class. Mevastatin is a lipid-lowering agent, and induces apoptosis, arrests cancer cells in G0/G1 phase. Mevastatin also increases endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) mRNA and protein levels. Mevastatin has antitumor activity and has the potential for cardiovascular diseases treatment.

Mevastatin (0-128 μM; 5 days; Caco-2 cells) treatment causes a dose-dependent decrease in cell number[1].
Mevastatin (32-128 μM; 24-72 hours; Caco-2 cells) treatment causes an early G0/G1 phase and a late G2/M phase cell cyclr arrest[1].
Mevastatin (32-128 μM; 72 hours; Caco-2 cells) treatment causes a down-regulation of cyclin-dependent kinases (cdk) 4 and cdk 6 as well as cyclin D1, while cdk 2 and cyclin E protein levels remained unchanged. Cell cycle inhibitors p21 and p27 are significantly upregulated by Mevastatin[1].
Mevastatin (16-256 μM; Caco-2 cells) treatment induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner[1].
Treatment of Neuro2a cells with mevastatin for 24 hours induced neurite outgrowth associated with up-regulation of the neuronal marker protein NeuN. Mevastatin triggers phosphorylation of the key kinases epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), ERK1/2, and Akt/protein kinase B. Inhibition of EGFR, PI3K, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade blocks Mevastatin-induced neurite outgrowth[4].
