Description
(extracted from source data)
PHARMACODYNAMICS
The primary cause of cardiovascular disease is atherosclerotic plaque formation. Mevastatin lowers hepatic production of cholesterol to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Mevastatin competitively inhibits HMG-CoA reductase. This inhibition prevents the rate limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. Decreased hepatic cholesterol levels causes increased uptake of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and reduces cholesterol levels in the circulation.
DESCRIPTION
Mevastatin, originally isolated from Penicillium citrinum, was the first HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) to be identified .
