The statins are a family of compounds that inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, a pivotal enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis.{20936} Pitavastatin is a potent inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase (Ki = 1.7 nM).{25250} It lowers both total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in animals and humans.{25248} Metabolism of pitavastatin by the cytochrome P450 system is minimal, reducing the risk of drug-drug interactions.{25248} Moreover, pitavastatin causes atherosclerosis regression in humans with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis and improves cardiac function and survival in a rat model of hypertensive heart failure.{25249,25247}
