Rosuvastatin calcium

SKU: orb1226214

Description

A potent, competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) with IC50 of 11 nM; potently inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis (IC50=1.12 nM) in rat isolated hepatocytes, 100 times more potent than pravastatin; also exerts important anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of endothelial cell adhesion molecule expression.Dyslipidemia Approved(In Vivo):Rosuvastatin Calcium (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) prolonges QTc in conscious and unrestraines guinea pigs from 201±1 to 210±2 ms.Rosuvastatin (20 mg/kg/day, for 2 weeks) significantly reduces very low-density lipoproteins Calcium (VLDL) in diabetes mellitus rats induced by Streptozocin.
