(3S,5S)-Atorvastatin calcium salt is a pharmaceutical compound used to lower cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. It is an enantiomer of atorvastatin, a medication belonging to the statin class. The (3S,5S) designation refers to the specific stereochemistry of the molecule, which affects its biological activity. Atorvastatin works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis. The calcium salt form enhances its stability and bioavailability, making it effective in treating hypercholesterolemia and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
