Atorvastatin strontium is used primarily for lowering blood cholesterol and for prevention of events associated with cardiovascular disease. Like all statins, atorvastatin works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme found in liver tissue that plays a key role in production of cholesterol in the body.Atorvastatin is also used for the treatment of dyslipidemia.
(3R,5S)-Atorvastatin sodium, an impurity of Atorvastatin, is associated with the compound's role as an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, effectively reducing blood lipids.
(3S,5R)-Fluvastatin sodium is the (3S,5R)-enantiomer of Fluvastatin. Fluvastatin is a first fully synthetic, competitive HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (IC50: 8 nM). Fluvastatin protects vascular smooth muscle cells against oxidative stress through the Nrf2-
Cytostatin (sodium salt) is a natural antitumor inhibitor of cell adhesion to extracellular matrix, blocking adhesion of B16 melanoma cells to laminin and collagen type IV in vitro (IC50s = 1.3 and 1.4 μg/ml, respectively) and B16 cells metastatic activity in mice. It induces apoptosis of FS3 mouse fibrosarcoma cells (IC50 = 3.1 μg/ml). Cytostatin (sodium salt) potently and selectively inhibits protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A; IC50 = 29 nM against the catalytic subunit), while having no effect against PP1, PP2B, or PP5.
N-desmethyl Rosuvastatin is an active metabolite of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor rosuvastatin .1,2N-desmethyl Rosuvastatin is formed when rosuvastatin undergoes demethylation, primarily by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2C9 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4.1 1.Macwan, J.S., Ionita, I.A., and Akhlaghi, F.A simple assay for the simultaneous determination of rosuvastatin acid, rosuvastatin-5S-lactone, and N-desmethyl rosuvastatin in human plasma using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)Anal.

Atorvastatin magnesium trihydrate is used primarily for lowering blood cholesterol and for prevention of events associated with cardiovascular disease. Like all statins, atorvastatin works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme found in liver tissue that plays a key role in production of cholesterol in the body.Atorvastatin is also used for the treatment of dyslipidemia.
