Fluvastatin

Fluvastatin is an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase (Ki = 0.3 nM for the rat enzyme). It also inhibits the human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2C9 (IC50 = 100 nM). Fluvastatin inhibits oxidized LDL-induced ferroptosis and reverses oxidized LDL-induced decreases in glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and system Xc- cystine-glutamate antiporter levels in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In vivo, fluvastatin (2 mg/kg per day) decreases serum cholesterol, triglyceride, and phospholipid levels, the formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), and vascular angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity in rabbits fed a high-cholesterol diet. It increases survival in a mouse model of myocardial infarction when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg per day. Formulations containing fluvastatin have been used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and the prevention of cardiovascular disease.Formal Name: (3R,5S,6E)-rel-7-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-indol-2-yl]-3,5-dihydroxy-6-heptenoic acid.
