A working model of Cmpd 81 in lowering cholesterol synthesis. All clinically used statins dramatically induce compensatory increase of HMGCR, and the increased HMGCR proteins would blunt statins’ efficacy. However, Cmpd 81 remarkably degrades statins-induced HMGCR protein through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to lower the cholesterol synthesis, and to improve the efficacy of statins
