Hymeglusin is a fungal β-lactone antibiotic that inhibits HMG-CoA synthase (IC50 = 0.12 μM) by covalently modifying the active Cys129 residue of the enzyme.[1][2] At a dose of 25 mg/kg, hymeglusin inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis in rats by 45%. Chiral studies indicate that the (2R,3R)-β-lactone moiety of hymeglusin is important for eliciting the specific inhibition of HMG-CoA synthase.[3] 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.[4]

Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.
Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
