Description

Mevastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that exhibits anti-hyperlipidemic, anticancer, and immunomodulatory activities. Mevastatin induces apoptosis and inhibits growth of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cells by increasing cytochrome c release, activation of caspase 3, and phosphorylation of JNK, p38 MAPK, and ERK1/2. In other models, mevastatin inhibits bisphosphonate-induced activation of γδ T cells and release of TNF-α.
