Mevalonic acid (lithium salt) (Standard)

• UNSPSC Description:

  Mevalonic acid (lithium salt) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Mevalonic acid (lithium salt). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Mevalonic acid (MVA) lithium salt is a precursor substance of the mevalonate pathway, which is essential for cell growth and proliferation. Mevalonic acid lithium salt is effective in inhibiting Simvastatin (HY-17502)-induced decrease in C2C12 cell viability in vitro. Mevalonic acid lithium salt can be used in studies of myopathy and heart failure[1][2].
