Bioactivity | (3S,5R)-Fluvastatin (potassium) is a synthetic hypolipidemic drug that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase activity. (3S,5R)-Fluvastatin (potassium) has similar antioxidative effects on copper ion-induced LDL oxidation compared to its 3R,5S enantiomer. (3S,5R)-Fluvastatin (potassium) and its metabolites demonstrate a potential to exhibit anti-atherosclerotic effects through their antioxidative activities. (3S,5R)-Fluvastatin (potassium) is clinically utilized as part of a racemic mixture for reducing plasma cholesterol levels. |
