Hymeglusin is a fungal ?-lactone antibiotic that inhibits HMG-CoA synthase (IC50 = 0.12 ?M) by covalently modifying the active Cys129 residue of the enzyme.{21712,21710} At a dose of 25 mg/kg, hymeglusin inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis in rats by 45%.{21712} Chiral studies indicate that the (2R,3R)-?-lactone moiety of hymeglusin is important for eliciting the specific inhibition of HMG-CoA synthase.{21713} As a cell-wall targeting antibiotic, hymeglusin has been used to investigate the role of a gene important for controlling S. aureus virulence in a mouse sepsis model of infection.{21711}
