Pitavastatin (NK-104) is a potent inhibitor of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase, effectively inhibiting cholesterol synthesis from acetic acid in HepG2 cells with an IC50 of 5.8 nM. It also induces hepatocyte low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) receptors and exhibits therapeutic activities such as anti-atherosclerotic, anti-asthmatic, anti-osteoarthritis, antineoplastic, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, and reno-protective effects.

| Description | Pitavastatin (NK-104) is a potent inhibitor of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase, effectively inhibiting cholesterol synthesis from acetic acid in HepG2 cells with an IC50 of 5.8 nM. It also induces hepatocyte low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) receptors and exhibits therapeutic activities such as anti-atherosclerotic, anti-asthmatic, anti-osteoarthritis, antineoplastic, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, and reno-protective effects. |
| In vitro | Pitavastatin inhibits the growth of a panel of ovarian cancer cells, including those likely representing HGSOC, with IC50 values of 0.4-5 μM in monolayers and 0.6-4 μM in spheroids [4]. At 1 μM for 48 hours, Pitavastatin induces apoptosis in Ovcar-8 and Ovcar-3 cells, increasing the activity of caspases-3, -7, -8, and -9, and results in PARP cleavage in Ovcar-8 cells, as evidenced by Western Blot analysis [1, 4]. |
| In vivo | In 4-week-old female NCR Nu/Nu nude mice bearing Ovcar-4 tumors, Pitavastatin (administered at a dose of 59 mg/kg; orally (p.o.); twice daily for 28 days) is able to significantly induce tumor regression[4]. |
