Pitavastatin acid（Cat No.:I001803）is the active form of pitavastatin, a highly potent statin that targets HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme crucial for cholesterol synthesis in the liver. By inhibiting this enzyme, Pitavastatin acid effectively lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while modestly increasing HDL cholesterol, making it beneficial in the management of hypercholesterolemia and reducing cardiovascular risks. Known for its minimal drug interactions and a lower incidence of muscle-related side effects compared to other statins, Pitavastatin acid is particularly suitable for patients requiring long-term lipid control.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world, with hypercholesterolemia as the major risk factor. The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors represent the most efficient drugsfor the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. They lower plasma cholesterol due to the inhibition of endogenous cholesterol synthesis in the liverand subsequent increased expression of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors, resulting in an up-regulated catabolic rate for plasma LDL. The beneficial effect of statins on the incidence of CHD was clearly demonstrated in several large-scale clinical trials. Currently, five statins (atorvastatin, fluvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin, and simvastatin) are available, and two novel compounds (pitavastatin, rosuvastatin) are undergoing clinical investigation. To point out potential mechanisms leading to increased toxicity and to compare the novel statins with the established ones, this article summarizes their pharmacological data since the prevalence of adverse events can be explained at least in part by their pharmacokinetic differences.
