Pravastatin Sodium Salt

Pravastatin sodium is the sodium salt of pravastatin, a ring- opened member of the statin family. Pravastatin is produced biosynthetically from compactin (mevastatin) by a number of micro-organisms,notablyAbsidia,Cunninghamella, Syncephalastrum, Nocardia or Streptomyces. Typically, statins like compactin, lovastatin and simvastatin possess a b-hydroxy lactone ring which is a pro-drug for the readily ring-opened dihydroxyacid generally regarded as the active HMG-CoA inhibitor. Importantly, the free carboxylic acid enables pravastatin to be freely water soluble within biological pH ranges. Pravastatin is used therapeutically to reduce LDL cholesterol.

Small volumes of Pravastatin Sodium Salt biochemical vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
