Product Data
Biological target:
Rosuvastatin is an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase (IC50 = 5 nM). It inhibits cholesterol synthesis in isolated rat hepatocytes with an IC50 value of 0.16 nM. Rosuvastatin reduces plasma total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-C, and oxidized LDL-C levels in Ldlr-/- mice fed a high-fat diet. It decreases the area of aortic atherosclerotic lesions in the same model.
In vitro activity:
In HeLa cells infected with T. gondii, rosuvastatin showed a significant reduction in both the number of infected cells and the proliferation index of the intracellular parasite, when compared with conventional treatment. There were also reduced levels of cytokines IL-6 and IL-17. Therefore, it was concluded that rosuvastatin exhibited antiproliferative activity. Reference: Exp Parasitol. 2017 Oct;181:75-81. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28774497/
In vivo activity:
Rosuvastatin lessened random skin flap tissue edema and promoted skin flap survival. Rosuvastatin also promoted angiogenesis, reduced oxidative stress, induced autophagy, and reduced pyroptosis. Rosuvastatin improves the survival rate of random skin flaps. Reference: Int Immunopharmacol. 2023 May;118:110059. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37001384/
