Pharmacological effect Liprimar
Synthetic hypolipidemic agent. Atorvastatin is a selective competitive inhibitor of GMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme that converts 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA into mevalonate, a precursor to steroids including cholesterol.
In patients with homozygous and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, non-familial forms of hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia, atorvastatin reduces blood plasma concentrations of total cholesterol (Hs), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Hs-LDL) and apolipoprotein B (apo-B), as well as very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Hs-LDL) and triglycerides (TH), and increases cholesterol concentrations of cholesterol-lowering proteins high density (Hs-HDL).
