Rosuvastatin is a competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A to mevalonate, a critical precursor in cholesterol biosynthesis. By decreasing intracellular cholesterol concentrations, it upregulates low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors on hepatic cell membranes. This mechanism dramatically accelerates the clearance and catabolism of circulating LDL, lowering total cholesterol, LDL-C, and apolipoprotein B (ApoB). Additionally, it reduces hepatic synthesis of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and induces a moderate increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels.

Purpose

It is indicated as an adjunct to diet for the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and for the primary prevention of major cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke.
