Biochem/physiol Actions

Atorvastatin calcium salt trihydrate is a specific inhibitor of β-Hydroxy β-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase. HMG-CoA reductase is the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, an early step in cholesterol biosynthesis. Atorvastatin is used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.

B R Krause et al.
Atherosclerosis, 117(2), 237-244 (1995-10-01)
Since inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase lower plasma triglycerides rather than cholesterol in rats, we compared the triglyceride-lowering activity of lovastatin in rats to that of atorvastatin, a more potent synthetic inhibitor, prior to evaluating these drugs in established animal models
