Pharmacology
Rosuvastatin is a selective and competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase. HMG-CoA reductase is the rate-limiting enzyme that converts 3-hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA to mevalonate (the precursor of cholesterol). Rosuvastatin produces its lipid modification effect in two ways. First, it increases the number of liver low-density lipoprotein receptors on the cell surface to enhance the absorption and catabolism of low-density lipoprotein. Secondly, Rosuvastatin inhibits liver VLDL synthesis and reduces the total number of VLDL and LDL particles.
