Computational Evaluation of Statin Analogs Targeting HMG-CoA Reductase for Coronary Artery Disease Treatment. [PDF]
ChemistryOpenMolecular dynamics analysis of novel statin analogs shows that binding induces superior stabilization of HMG‐CoA reductase. As shown by the solvent‐accessible surface area profile, ligand‐induced rigidity offers a new, effective strategy for drug design. Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of global mortality.

Inhibition of NF-κB Pathway and Modulation of MAPK Signaling Pathways in Glioblastoma and Implications for Lovastatin and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) Combination Therapy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Glioblastoma is a common malignant brain tumor and it is refractory to therapy because it usually contains a mixture of cell types. The tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to induce apoptosis in a range of tumor

Differential effects of lovastatin on cisplatin responses in normal human mesothelial cells versus cancer cells: implication for therapy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The cancer killing efficacy of standard chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin (CDDP) is limited by their side effects to normal tissues. Therefore, research efforts optimizing the safety and efficacy of those agents are clinically relevant.

Effects of naturally-produced lovastatin on feed digestibility, rumen fermentation, microbiota and methane emissions in goats over a 12-week treatment period. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Twenty male Saanen goats were randomly assigned to four levels of lovastatin supplementation and used to determine the optimal dosage and sustainability of naturally produced lovastatin from fermentation of palm kernel cake (PKC) with Aspergillus terreus

Locally delivered lovastatin-containing chitosan nanoparticles promote bone regeneration in rats [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2021 Hypolipidemic statins can stimulate osteoregeneration. However, such effects are observed only after administration methods that are unacceptable for patients (prolonged infusions or huge oral doses).
