 Use of 3-Hydroxy-3-(2H3)methylpentanedioic acid


Meglutol-d3 is the deuterium labeled Meglutol[1]. Meglutol is an antilipemic agent which lowers cholesterol, triglycerides, serum beta-lipoproteins and phospholipids, and inhibits the activity of hydroxymethylglutarryl CoA reductases, which is the rate limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.
