Pravastatin lactone is a metabolite of pravastatin , a hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor that is a ring-hydroxylated metabolite of mevastatin . Pravastatin lactone is formed when pravastatin undergoes acid-catalyzed non-enzymatic lactonization in the stomach following oral administration.
