Cerivastatin can reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, inhibit the proliferation and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells, and can be used to study primary hyperlipidemia.

Cerivastatin sodium (BAY W 6228 sodium) is an orally active and highly potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor with lipid-lowering activity that can reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Cerivastatin sodium has anticancer effects and can be used to study primary hyperlipidemia.

Cerivastatin lactone is a metabolite of a competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, Cerivastatin. Cerivastatin lactone shows inhibitory effects on CYP3A4 5 activity.
