Relatively high concentrations of MK-733 (simvastatin) and MK-803 (lovastatin, mevinolin), which are 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, were found to inhibit acyl coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) of rabbit intestinal microsomes with IC50's of 2.0 x 10(-5) and 3.6 x 10(-5) M, respectively. Dihydroxy acid forms of both MK-733 and MK-803 did not inhibit ACAT activity. A kinetic analysis using a Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated that MK-733 is a competitive inhibitor of ACAT, with a Ki value of 1.2 x 10(-5) M.
