Meglutol
Meglutol (3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid) is a cholesterol-lowering agent that inhibits early enzymatic steps in acetate metabolism and blocks HMG-CoA reductase activity. It is used in biochemical research to study lipid metabolism pathways and has been investigated in experimental models for its hypolipidemic effects.
