Drug Function and Efficacy

It is a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy 3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase). It reduces the amount of intracellular cholesterol by reversibly inhibiting the activity of HMG-CoA reductase, resulting in an increase in the number of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors on the cell surface, thereby enhancing the receptor-mediated LDL catabolism and clearance of LDL in the blood; at the same time, it inhibits the production of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by inhibiting the synthesis of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-C) in the liver.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
