DrugBank ID	DB04377
Name	Meglutol
Groups	experimental
Description	An antilipemic agent which lowers cholesterol, triglycerides, serum beta-lipoproteins and phospholipids. It acts by interfering with the enzymatic steps involved in the conversion of acetate to hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A as well as inhibiting the activity of HYDROXYMETHYLGLUTARYL COA REDUCTASES which is the rate limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.
Synonyms	3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid Meglutol Dicrotalic acid
Categories	Acids, Acyclic Anticholesteremic Agents Antimetabolites Dicarboxylic Acids Enzyme Inhibitors Glutarates Hypolipidemic Agents Lipid Modifying Agents Lipid Modifying Agents, Plain Lipid Regulating Agents
ATC-Code	C10AX05
CAS number	503-49-1
