描述 | HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the process of cholesterol synthesis in liver cells, catalyzes the production of mevalonate. Inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase inhibits cholesterol synthesis [3].Pravastatin sodium is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that inhibits sterol synthesis with IC50 value of 5.6 μM[2]. In vitro, in animals and humans , it reduces plasma levels of LDL by inhibiting the synthesis of intracellular cholesterol. Among the three types of macrophages, including J-774 A.1 macrophage-like cells, human monocyte derived macrophages (HMDM) and mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPM), pravastatin sodium reduced intracellular cholesterol synthesis with IC50 of 0.08, 6.3 and 7.8 μg/ml, respectively[4]. Pravastatin sodium also moderates the individual aortic ring, with a maximum blood vessel dilation of 62.8% at 10 μM for 8 minutes. In cultured bovine arterial endothelial cells, Pravastatin sodium (< 10 μM) stimulates NOS activity and releases NO within 10 min, while L-arginine responds to pravastatin sodium (< 10 μM) by enhancing NO production[1]. In vivo, pravastatin (30 mg/kg/day) reduced malnutrition by 34%. In irradiated female wistar rats, CCN2 levels were reduced and Pravastatin (30 mg/kg/day) restored muscle structure[5]. In addition, Pravastatin (40 mg, single dose) reduced cholesterol synthesis rate by 62% in human monocyte derived macrophages and by 47% in patients with high cholesterol. Treatment of patients with elevated serum cholesterol with pravastatin at 40 mg per day for 8 weeks inhibited cholesterol synthesis by 55% and increased LDL degradation by 57%[4]. |
