Biological evaluations of novel 2,3,3-Trisphosphonate in osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities [PDF]
, 2017 Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the first line treatment for many bone diseases including hypercalcimia associated with bone malignancies. In this paper, we introduce a new analogue of bisphosphonate called the 2,3,3-Trisphosphonate (2,3,3-TriPP) that was ...

Lipophilic statins inhibit YAP nuclear localization, co-activator activity and colony formation in pancreatic cancer cells and prevent the initial stages of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in KrasG12D mice. [PDF]
, 2019 We examined the impact of statins on Yes-associated Protein (YAP) localization, phosphorylation and transcriptional activity in human and mouse pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1982 Yields of (14)CO(2) from [2-(14)C]mevalonate and [5-(14)C]mevalonate have been used by others to estimate the activity of the non-sterol-forming pathway, also called the mevalonate shunt pathway, and yields of (14)C in sterols have been used to estimate ...

GAME9 regulates the biosynthesis of steroidal alkaloids and upstream isoprenoids in the plant mevalonate pathway [PDF]
, 2016 Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are cholesterol-derived molecules produced by solanaceous species. They contribute to pathogen defence but are toxic to humans and considered as anti-nutritional compounds.

Determination of mevalonate in blood plasma in man and rat. Mevalonate “tolerance” tests in man.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1979 A method is described for the determination of mevalonate in ultrafiltrates of blood plasma. The method depends on the phosphorylation of mevalonate with [gamma-32P]ATP and mevalonate kinase to 5-[32P]phosphomevalonate, and the subsequent isolation of ...

Inhibition of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthesis in in vitro systems [PDF]
, 1985 The incorporation of [14C]mevalonate and [14C]isopentenyl diphosphate into geranylgeranyl diphosphate was investigated in in vitro systems from Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin) endosperm and from Avena sativa etioplasts.

Non-bisphosphonate inhibitors of isoprenoid biosynthesis identified via computer-aided drug design. [PDF]
, 2011 The relaxed complex scheme, a virtual-screening methodology that accounts for protein receptor flexibility, was used to identify a low-micromolar, non-bisphosphonate inhibitor of farnesyl diphosphate synthase.

Urinary clearance and metabolism of mevalonate by the isolataed perfused rat kidney.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1981 The urinary excretion and the incorporation into lipids of R[3-14C]mevalonate was investigated in isolated rat kidneys perfused with physiological concentration sof the substrate (80-500 pmol/ml).

Statins and the vasculopathy of systemic sclerosis: potential therapeutic agents? [PDF]
, 2006 It has been postulated that endothelial cell injury is the initiating event in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis, causing attraction, attachment, migration and infiltration of activated T-cells and subsequent production of cytokines and growth ...
