Overview
Pitavastatin Calcium is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme HMGCR (HMG-CoA reductase) results in a reduction in LDL cholesterol synthesis. Alternate studies show that pitavastatin can suppress oxygen production in endothelial cells by inhibiting NADPH oxidase. In addition, pitavastatin reduces the expression of eNOS mRNA while increasing the NO dependent response stimulated by acetylcholine and the calcium ionophore, A23187. Furthermore, pitavastatin inhibits the up-regulation of conductance calcium-activated potassium channels by lowering cholesterol levels in cells. A competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase
Pitavastatin calcium is a novel member of the medication class of statins.Potent, competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase (K i = 1.7nM). Blocks cholesterol synthesis. Displays cardioprotective properties. Orally active.
