Pitavastatin calcium is a novel member of the medication class of statins.

Pitavastatin calcium is a novel member of the medication class of statins. The statins are a family of compounds that inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, a pivotal enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. Pitavastatin is a potent inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase (Ki = 1.7 nM). It lowers both total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in animals and humans. Metabolism of pitavastatin by the cytochrome P450 system is minimal, reducing the risk of drug-drug interactions. Moreover, pitavastatin causes atherosclerosis regression in humans with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis and improves cardiac function and survival in a rat model of hypertensive heart failure.(In Vitro):Pitavastatin Calcium inhibits the growth of a panel of ovarian cancer cells, including those considered most likely to represent HGSOC, grown as a monolayers (IC50 = 0.4-5 μM) or as spheroids (IC50=0.6-4 μM).Pitavastatin Calcium (1 μM; 48 hours ) induces apoptosis, evidenced by the increased activity of executioner caspases-3,7 as well as caspase-8 and caspase-9 in Ovcar-8 cells and Ovcar-3 cells.Pitavastatin (1 μM, 48 hours) causes PARP cleavage in Ovcar-8 cells.(In Vivo):Pitavastatin Calcium (59 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily for 28 days) causes significant tumour regression.

Western Blot Analysis Cell Line:Ovcar-8 cells Concentration:1?μM Incubation Time:48 hours Result:Induced PARP cleavage.

Animal Model:4 week old female NCR Nu/Nu female mice?(bearing Ovcar-4 tumours)Dosage:59?mg/kg Administration:p.o.; twice daily for 28 days Result:Caused significant tumour regression.
