Simvastatin (79902-63-9) is a synthetic analog of lovastatin (cat.# 10-1222). Blocks cholesterol and isoprenoid biosynthesis via inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase1,2. Simvastatin induces apoptosis in various cell lines and causes cell cycle arrest in early G1 phase. Clinically useful antilipemic agent3.
