Application

6-Fluoromevalonate has been used as a mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase inhibitor:
  • to study the effect of mevalonate pathway inhibition on patient-derived brain tumor-initiating cells (BTICs) growth and self-renewal
  • to study its effect on induction of trained immunity by β-glucan in monocytes
  • to determine the effect of the mevalonate pathway (MVP) on ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) activation

The role of mevalonate and its products in the regulation of cellular proliferation was examined using 6-fluoromevalonate (Fmev), a compound that blocks the conversion of mevalonate pyrophosphate to isopentenyl pyrophosphate. Fmev suppressed DNA synthesis by a variety of transformed and

1. Recent investigations revealed that isoprenoid compounds serve as key substances for cellular proliferation through post-translational modification. Previously we reported that tissues of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) had a lower activity of isoprenoid biosynthesis when compared with the normotensive control
J E Carrel et al.
Experientia, 42(7), 853-854 (1986-07-15)
Biosynthesis of cantharidin in a blister beetle, Lytta polita, is effectively inhibited by 6-fluoromevalonate. Inhibition is attributed specifically to the fluorine substituent. Biochemical inhibition has not been demonstrated previously for an arthropod's defensive substance.
