CAS 81093-37-0: Pravastatin

Description: Pravastatin is a member of the statin class of medications, primarily used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. It functions as an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, which is a key enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. The chemical formula of pravastatin is C23H35NaO7, and it is characterized by its specific structural features, including a hydroxy acid moiety that enhances its solubility and bioavailability. Pravastatin is typically administered in oral form and is known for its relatively favorable side effect profile compared to other statins. It is also notable for its ability to improve endothelial function and exert anti-inflammatory effects. The substance is often prescribed for patients with hyperlipidemia or those at risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. As with all medications, monitoring for potential interactions and side effects is essential during treatment.
