Simvastatin History

In 1956, mevalonic acid was isolated from a yeast extract by Karl Folkers.
In 1959, the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme was discovered by researchers at the Max Planck Institute.
By 1976, Akira Endo had isolated the first inhibitor (Compactin, ML-236B) from the fungus, Penicillium citrinium in Sankyo, Japan.
In 1979, Hoffman and colleagues isolated lovastatin from a strain of the fungus Aspergillus terreus.

Simvastatin Uses

 Simvastatin (CAS NO.79902-63-9) is used to control hypercholesterolemia and to prevent cardiovascular disease. It is a powerful lipid-lowering drug that can decrease low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels by up to 50%.
