Inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis by fluorinated mevalonate analogues

The conversion of mevalonate to cholesterol in rat liver homogenates (IC50 = 0.01-1.0 mM) is inhibited by 6- (I), 6,6-di- (II), and 6,6,6-trifluoromevalonate (III), as well as 4,4-difluoromevalonate (IV). Addition of compound I, III, or IV to rat liver homogenates results in the accumulation of 5-ph...
