Product Information

• Name: Pitavastatin N-oxide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pitavastatin N-oxide is a drug product that is an analytical standard and natural API impurity. It is used in the synthesis of other drugs, such as pitavastatin, which is a statin drug used to lower cholesterol levels. Pitavastatin N-oxide has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) to mevalonate. This inhibits cholesterol production and lowers levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood.
