Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to pitavastatin calcium (CAS RN 147526-32-7), pitavastatin sodium (CAS RN 574705-92-3), pitavastatin magnesium (CAS RN 956116-90-8), and pitavastatin calcium hydrate (CAS RN Not Available). Pitavastatin is indicated for the treatment of high blood lipids. Pitavastatin inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase by competition with the substrate so that it inhibits hepatic cholesterol synthesis. The total plasma cholesterol decreases when the expression of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors followed by the uptake of LDL from blood to liver is accelerated. Additionally, the levels of very low density decrease from the sustained inhibition of cholesterol synthesis in the liver.
