Research Progress on Gene Synthesis and Anticancer and Lipid-lowering Mechanism of Monacolin K

Anti-Cancer Agents in Medicinal Chemistry, 2023
Abstract: Monacolin K (MK), also known as lovastatin (LOV), is a secondary metabolite synthesized by Monascus in the later stage of fermentation and is the main component of functional red yeast rice (RYR). The structure of MK is similar to 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA), and it can competitively bind to 3-hydroxy-3- methylglutaryl ...

Microbial hydroxylation of compactin (ML-236B) and monacolin K.

The Journal of Antibiotics, 1985
The Basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune was found to transform compactin (ML-236B) to 8a-hydroxycompactin. This compound was isolated by solvent extraction and column chromatography, and its structure was determined by a combination of IR, UV, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
