Pitavastatin sodium
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Pitavastatin (NK-104) sodium is a potent hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor. Pitavastatin sodium inhibits cholesterol synthesis from acetic acid with an IC50 of 5.8 nM in HepG2 cells. Pitavastatin sodium is an efficient hepatocyte low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) receptor inducer. Pitavastatin sodium also possesses anti-atherosclerotic, anti-asthmatic, anti-osteoarthritis, antineoplastic, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective and reno-protective effects.

Description
IC50 & Target
HMG-CoA Reductase[1]
In Vitro
Pitavastatin 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)[4].
Pitavastatin (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[4].
Pitavastatin (1 μM, 48 hours) causes PARP cleavage in Ovcar-8 cells[4].
Pitavastatin (0.1 and 1 μM; 1 h, then cells incubate with TNF-α for 6 h) increases the expression of ICAM-1 mRNA through suppressing NF-κB pathway in TNF-α-stimulated human saphenous vein endothelial cells[6].
