| Bioactivity | (3S,5S)-Atorvastatin is a inactive enantiomer of Atorvastatin. (3S,5S)-Atorvastatin can activate pregnane X receptor (PXR). Atorvastatin is an orally active HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, has the ability to effectively decrease blood lipids[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | Pregnane X receptor (PXR) | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Atorvastatin and its inactive enantiomer (3S,5S)-Atorvastatin increases CYP2B and CYP3A mRNA content with equal ability[1].(3S,5S)-Atorvastatin in 100 μM concentrations induces luciferase activity with an EC50 of 12.4 μM[2].Addition of (3S,5S)-Atorvastatin to the 2-formylphenylboronicacid (FPBA)/l-tryptophanol mixture induces an intensity enhancement of l-tryptophanol florescence[3]. | ||||||||||||
