Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics.

Etset® contains the active substance atorvastatin. Atorvastatin is a selective competitive inhibitor of MMC-CoA reductase, an enzyme that determines the rate of conversion of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A to mevalonate, a precursor of sterols, in particular cholesterol. Triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol in the liver are incorporated into very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) molecules, enter the blood plasma and are transported to peripheral tissues. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is formed from VLDL and is catabolized mainly by interaction with high-affinity LDL receptors (LDL receptors).

Atorvastatin reduces plasma serum cholesterol and lipoprotein concentrations by inhibiting MMC-CoA reductase and subsequently hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis, and increases the number of hepatic LDL receptors on the cell surface, leading to increased LD uptake and catabolism.

Atorvastatin reduces LDL formation and the number of LDL particles. Atorvastatin causes a marked and sustained increase in LDL receptor activity in combination with favorable changes in the quality of circulating LDL particles. Atorvastatin is effective in lowering LDL cholesterol in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a group that has not always responded to hypolipidemic therapy.
