Disease relevance of CRILVASTATIN

In hamsters fed on a lithogenic diet for 8 weeks, crilvastatin treatment (200 mg/day per kg body weight) did not change plasma lipid levels, failed to improve bile parameters and did not prevent gallstone formation [1].

High impact information on CRILVASTATIN

4. Crilvastatin not only acts by stimulating LDL-cholesterol uptake by hepatocytes, but also by enhancing the catabolism of LDL-cholesterol in bile salts and probably by stimulating HDL and/or bile component secretion [2].
2. The experiments were carried out for 20 h, each well contained 4.2 x 10(5)/cm2 Hep G2 cells or 0.5 x 10(5)/Cm2 human hepatocytes, 130 microM ursodeoxycholate, 0.68 microCi or 1.59 microCi unesterified human [14C]-LDL-cholesterol, crilvastatin or simvastatin at 0 or 50 microM (both cell types) or 300 microM (Hep-G2 cells) [2].
Crilvastatin enhanced both the level of apo A1 secreted by the Hep G2 cells and the level of APF, a high density lipoprotein (HDL) and biliary apoprotein [2].
Crilvastatin, a new 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor, inhibits cholesterol absorption in genetically hypercholesterolemic rats [3].
In rats with a previous high cholesterolemia, crilvastatin also enhanced cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity and did not increase liver acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyl transferase activity [4].

Associations of CRILVASTATIN with other chemical compounds

Statins reduced the apo B100 level secreted by the two cell types (simvastatin) or human hepatocytes (crilvastatin) [2].
