(3r,5s) fluvastatin

(3R,5S)-Fluvastatin, the 3R,5S-isomer of Fluvastatin (XU 62-320 free acid), stands as the inaugural fully synthetic, competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, exhibiting an IC50 value of 8 nM. It safeguards vascular smooth muscle cells from oxidative stress by activating the Nrf2-dependent antioxidant pathway.

(3R,5S)-Fluvastatin ((3R,5S)-XU 62-320) sodium, a specific isomer of Fluvastatin, functions as a fully synthetic, competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, exhibiting an IC50 of 8 nM. It is notable for its efficacy in shielding vascular smooth muscle cells from oxidative stress via the Nrf2-dependent antioxidant pathway [1] [2] [3].'
