Atorvastatin ( INN ) (pronounced /??t?rv??stæt?n/ ) ( Lipitor , Pfizer), is a member of the drug class known as statins , used for lowering blood cholesterol . It also stabilizes plaque and prevents strokes through anti-inflammatory and other mechanisms.
Atorvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase , the rate-determining enzyme located in hepatic tissue that produces mevalonate , a small molecule used in the synthesis of cholesterol and other mevalonate derivatives. This lowers the amount of cholesterol produced which in turn lowers the total amount of LDL cholesterol .
