Atorvastatin Methyl Ester

Description:
Atorvastatin Methyl Ester, with the CAS number 345891-62-5, is a chemical compound derived from atorvastatin, a widely used statin medication for lowering cholesterol levels. This ester form is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a methyl ester functional group that influences its solubility and bioavailability. Typically, atorvastatin methyl ester exhibits properties such as being a white to off-white solid, with moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. The compound is known for its pharmacological activity, primarily acting as an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme crucial in cholesterol biosynthesis. This inhibition leads to a decrease in cholesterol production in the liver, thereby lowering overall cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. Additionally, atorvastatin methyl ester may undergo hydrolysis in biological systems, reverting to its active form, atorvastatin. As with many pharmaceutical compounds, safety and efficacy are paramount, and its use should be guided by clinical considerations and regulatory standards.
