Lovastatin

Lovastatin is a member of the statin class of drugs that inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. Beyond its cardiovascular benefits, lovastatin has been investigated for its neuroprotective effects, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In neuroscience, it is studied for its potential to modulate amyloid precursor protein processing, reduce neuroinflammation, and improve cognitive function in models of Alzheimer's disease. Its pleiotropic effects make it a candidate for repurposing in neurodegenerative disease research.

Need this compound in a format that drops straight into your assay? We can tailor formulation, chemistry, and documentation so your results stay consistent across runs and re-orders.

• Format options: solid or pre-dissolved solution (choose solvent), target concentration, aliquots, light/moisture-protected packaging
• Chemistry options: free base/acid vs salt forms, hydrate/solvate preference, stereoisomer control (single enantiomer or racemate), close analogs
• Add-on labels & handles: D/¹³C/¹⁵N isotopes (LC-MS/internal standards), azide/alkyne or other functional handles for conjugation
• QC & documentation: standard COA or enhanced analytical pack (HPLC/LC-MS/NMR), chiral purity, residual solvents, water content (KF), method-specific specs
• Scale & continuity: mg to gram scale, bulk pricing, lot reservation, repeat-order continuity

To quote quickly, tell us: compound name + CAS/structure (SMILES or mol file), intended assay context, solvent preference, salt/stereochemistry requirements, purity/QC level, and the amount (mg–g).
