Pitavastatin calcium (NK-104) is a potent inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase (Ki: 1.7 nM). It lowers both total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in animals and humans. Metabolism of pitavastatin by the cytochrome P450 system is minimal, reducing the risk of drug-drug interactions.

In vivo | Pitavastatin inhibits the progression of arterial atherosclerosis by blocking the synthesis of thromboxane and suppressing the migration or proliferation of vascular smooth muscle induced by angiotensin II, thereby stabilizing atherosclerotic plaques. It significantly reduces the levels of intracellular and synthesized cholesteryl esters. Moreover, pitavastatin enhances the extracellular expression of LDL receptors and increases the binding of LDL to LDL receptors. Compared to simvastatin and atorvastatin, pitavastatin is more effective in inducing the expression of LDL receptor mRNA. |
