Meglutol. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylpentanedioic Acid . beta-Hydroxy-beta-Methylglutarate . 3 Hydroxy 3 methylglutaric Acid . 3 Hydroxy 3 methylpentanedioic Acid . Acid, 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric . Acid, 3-Hydroxy-3-methylpentanedioic . beta Hydroxy beta Methylglutarate . 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric Acid . An antilipemic agent which lowers cholesterol, triglycerides, serum beta-lipoproteins and phospholipids. It acts by interfering with the enzymatic steps involved in the conversion of acetate to hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A as well as inhibiting the activity of HYDROXYMETHYLGLUTARYL COA REDUCTASES which is the rate limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. . 1.00
