Mevinic acid is reversible competitive inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase (Ki in the range of 0.2-1 nM). Mevinic acid is a precursor of a Mevastatin (mevinic acid lactone) -- a hypolipidemic agent that belongs to the statins class. Mevastatin inactive until metabolized in the liver to the open-ring hydroxy acid (Mevinic acid). Mevastatin might be considered the first statin drug; clinical trials on mevastatin were performed in the late 1970s in Japan, but it was never marketed.

Mevastatin induced a profound concentration-dependent inhibition of DNA synthesis. At the highest concentration (30 microM), mevastatin inhibited DNA synthesis by 92%. Similarly, in the MTT proliferation assay, mevastatin induced a concentration-dependent decrease in cell number. Mevastatin decreased production of P (by up to 49%) and T (by up to 52%); these effects remained significant when the effect on cell culture protein content was accounted for.
