CAS Registry Number:134523-03-8
Molecular Formula:C66H68CaF2N4O10
Molecular Weight:558.639803
Appearance:White Crystalline Powder
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 |
