Parent topics
- Cholesterol [r]: Principal sterol of all higher animals. [e]
Type 1 statins, based on decalin ring structures
- Mevastatin [r]: Statin drug used to treat hypercholesterolemia by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. [e]
- Lovastatin [r]: Type I statin and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor used to treat hypercholesterolemia. [e]
- Pravastatin [r]: Type I Statin used to treat hypercholesterolemia. [e]
- Simvastatin [r]: A semisynthetic lipid-lowering drug derived from a compound produced by a mold of the genus Aspergillus and administered orally to lower a high cholesterol level in the blood by inhibiting the action of an enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of cholesterol. [e]
Type 2 statins, based on fluorophenyl ring structures
- Fluvastatin [r]: Fluorophenyl-based statin, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, for reduction of cholesterol, triglycerides and apo B. [e]
- Cerivastatin [r]: A type II statin formerly used to treat high cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia). [e]
- Atorvastatin [r]: Sold as Lipitor®, a type II statin used to treat high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), [e]
- Rosuvastatin [r]: A type II statin, marketed as Crestor®, used to treat high cholesterol levels. [e]
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Apolipoprotein [r]: Protein components on the surface of lipoproteins that form a layer surrounding the hydrophobic lipid core. [e]
- 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl CoA [r]: A chemical precursor of mevalonate and, therefore, cholesterol. [e]
- Mevalonate [r]: A key chemical precursor in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. [e]
- Hypercholesterolemia [r]: Presence of an abnormally large amount of cholesterol in the cells and plasma of the circulating blood. [e]
- C-reactive protein [r]: Globulin that appears in the blood in certain acute inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatic fever, bacterial infections, and neoplastic diseases. [e]
- Colchicine [r]: Poisonous, pale-yellow alkaloid obtained from the seed capsules, corms, and bulbs of the meadow saffron, used in plant breeding to induce chromosome doubling and in medicine to treat gout. [e]
