Description and Uses

Lovastatin is an orally-active hypocholesterolemic useful in the treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia. The drug acts by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase-catalyzed rate limiting step of cholesterol biosynthesis. While treatment with lovastatin leads to significant reductions in total and LDL cholesterol, its effect on atherosclerosis or coronary heart disease has not been established.
