Description

Rosuvastatin Calcium (BANM, JAN, USAN) is known as Rosuvastatin in the US. and a competitive HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor with an IC50 of 11 nM[1]. Rosuvastatin Calcium potently blocks human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG) current with an IC50 of 195 nM, delayed cardiac repolarization, and thereby prolonged action potential durations (APDs) and corrected QT interval (QTc) intervals[2]. Rosuvastatin Calcium reduces the expression of the mature hERG and the interaction of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) with the hERG protein. Rosuvastatin Calcium is very effective in lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and C-reactive protein levels[3].
