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.

Biological Activity

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].

Western Blot Analysis^[4]

Cell Line:

Ovcar-8 cells
Concentration:

1 μM
Incubation Time:

48 hours
Result:

Induced PARP cleavage.

In Vivo

Pitavastatin (59 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily for 28 days) causes significant tumour regression^[4].
Pitavastatin (0.1 mg/kg; p.o; daily for 12 weeks) retards the progression of atherosclerosis formation and improves NO bioavailability by eNOS up-regulation and decrease of O^2- in diet induced severe hyperlipidemia rabbit model^[7].

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
