• Molecular Structure:

Chemical Properties

• Water solubility:Slightly soluble
• Boiling Point:722.2 °C at 760 mmHg
• Melting Point:176-178°C
• Flash Point:390.6 °C
• 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
