| Molecular Structure: |  |
| Properties | |
| Water Solubility: | Slightly soluble |
| Appearance: | White Crystalline Powder |
| Biological Activity: | Potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (IC 50 = 8 nM). Reduces circulating LDL-C by inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis and inducing expression of LDL receptors. Inhibits smooth muscle cell proliferation in vitro and exhibits antinociceptive effects in the inflammatory hypernociception model. |
| Usage: | A selective, competitive HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. The only drug in its class specfically indicated for lowering both elevated LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides in patients with hypercholesterolemia |
