Verwenden
Pravastatin sodium is the salt of pravastatin, a ring-opened member of the statin family. Pravastatin is produced biosynthetically from compactin (mevastatin) by a number of microorganisms, notably Absidia, Cunninghamella, Syncephalastrum, Nocardia or Streptomyces. Typically, statins like compactin, lovastatin and simvastatin possess a β-hydroxy lactone ring which is a pro-drug for the readily ring-opened dihydroxyacid generally regarded as the active HMG-CoAreductase inhibitor. Importantly, the free carboxylic acid enables pravastatin to be freely water soluble within biological pH ranges.
Definition
ChEBI: An organic sodium salt that is the sodium salt of pravastatin. A reversible inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA), it is used for lowering cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular disease. It is one of the lower potency statins, but
has the advantage of fewer side effects compared with lovastatin and simvastatin.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
A water-soluble, competitive 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor that potently blocks
in vivo cholesterol synthesis (K
i = ~1 nM). Offers cardioprotection. Also acts as an immunomodulator and an inhibitor of ras p21 isoprenylation.
Biologische Aktivität
Water-soluble, competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. Potently blocks cholesterol synthesis in vivo (K i ~ 1 nM) and displays cardioprotective properties.
