Mevastatin
The first statin to be discovered, an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor isolated from a mould in the 1970s: it was tested in Japan at the end of the decade but never reached the market, and pravastatin is derived from it. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.
Did you know?In 1976 a British group isolated the same molecule from another mould, Penicillium brevicompactum, and named it compactin, describing only its antifungal properties.
