Isoprenoids responsible for protein prenylation modulate the biological effects of statins on pancreatic cancer cells

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2017
Background Statin treatment of hypercholesterolemia is accompanied also with depletion of the mevalonate intermediates, including farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) necessary for proper function of small GTPases.

Therapeutic effect of NEO400, perillyl alcohol conjugated to linoleic acid, in a mouse model of UV‐induced skin damage

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 338-349, March/April 2025.
In the present work with mouse models, we demonstrate that a novel compound, NEO400, is able to profoundly protect skin against damage caused by UV radiation (UVR) when it is applied to skin post‐UVR exposure. In comparison, Aloe vera or linoleic acid are unable to achieve a similar level of protection.

Mitochondrial Acetyl‐CoA Synthetase 3 is Biosignature of Gastric Cancer Progression

Cancer Medicine, 2018
Cholesterol affects cancer progression, and acetyl‐CoA is the primary cholesterogenesis substrate. The previous work has defined cholesterol bioflux via lipoprotein/receptor route is the gastric cancer (GCa) prognosis biosignature.

Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Nitrogen‐Based Bisphosphonate Use and Risk of Cancer in Women Aged 50 Years and Older: A National Data Linkage Study

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 7, Page 1669-1685, 1 October 2026.
Bisphosphonates are widely used to treat osteoporosis and to manage bone metastases in patients with breast cancer. Nitrogen‐based bisphosphonates may also broadly reduce cancer risk, but evidence remains inconsistent. This large population‐based data linkage study in women aged > 50 years found that, compared to no use of osteoporosis medicines ...

Mevalonate in blood and muscle: Response to atorvastatin treatment and the relationship to statin intolerance in patients with coronary heart disease

Clinical and Translational Science
Statin‐associated muscle symptoms are frequently reported and often lead to discontinuation of statin therapy with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.

Discovery of a metabolic alternative to the classical mevalonate pathway

eLife, 2013
Eukarya, Archaea, and some Bacteria encode all or part of the essential mevalonate (MVA) metabolic pathway clinically modulated using statins. Curiously, two components of the MVA pathway are often absent from archaeal genomes. The search for these missing elements led to the discovery of isopentenyl phosphate kinase (IPK), one of two activities ...

Mechanisms and Predisposing Conditions for Statin‐Induced New‐Onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Paradox Relative to Their Pleiotropic Metabolic Effects

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
The primary function of statins is to inhibit cholesterol synthesis, which contributes to their antidiabetic effects. However, the majority of the diabetic effects of statins are due to inhibition of isoprenoid synthesis. Atorvastatin, simvastatin and rosuvastatin possess the most pronounced diabetogenic properties. In contrast, lovastatin, fluvastatin,

Multivalent feedback regulation of HMG CoA reductase, a control mechanism coordinating isoprenoid synthesis and cell growth.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1980
The availability of compactin (ML-236B), a potent competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Coenzyme A reductase, has permitted the demonstration of a hitherto unsuspected aspect of mevalonate metabolism and isoprenoid synthesis in cultured ...

Mevalonate and Nonmevalonate Pathways for the Biosynthesis of Isoprene Units

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2002
Isoprenoids are synthesized by consecutive condensations of their five-carbon precursor, isopentenyl diphosphate, to its isomer, dimethylallyl diphosphate. Two pathways for these precursors are known. One is the mevalonate pathway, which operates in eucaryotes, archaebacteria, and cytosols of higher plants.
