I want to know the answer to the following question:
In what year was mevastatin discovered?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In 1971, Akira Endo, a Japanese biochemist working for the pharmaceutical company Sankyo, identified mevastatin (ML-236B), a molecule produced by the fungus Penicillium citrinum, as an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, a critical enzyme used by the body to produce cholesterol.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
