Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB00439

Cerivastatin (BAYCOL®) is a competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, which is responsible for the conversion of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) to mevalonate, a precursor of sterols, including cholesterol. The inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis by cerivastatin reduces the level of cholesterol in hepatic cells, which stimulates the synthesis of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors, thereby increasing the uptake of cellular LDL particles. The end result of these biochemical processes is a reduction of the plasma cholesterol concentration. On August 8, 2001 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Bayer Pharmaceutical Division voluntarily withdrew BAYCOL® from the U.S. market, due to reports of fatal rhabdomyolysis, a severe adverse reaction from this cholesterol-lowering (lipid-lowering) product. It has also been withdrawn from the Canadian market.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Cerivastatin, fluvastatin, and pravastatin are hydrophilic compounds incapable of affecting the CNS.

Approved Use

BAYCOL® (cerivastatin sodium tablets) is indicated as an adjunct to diet to reduce elevated Total-C, LDLC, apo B, and TG and to increase HDL-C levels in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia (Fredrickson Types IIa and IIb) when the response to dietary restriction of saturated fat and cholesterol and other non-pharmacological measures alone has been inadequate. Therapy with lipidaltering drugs should be a component of multiple risk factor intervention in those patients at significantly high risk for atherosclerotic vascular disease due to hypercholesterolemia

Comment: specific inhibition of the CYP 3A4 enzyme sub-class resulted in a 1.4- to 1.5-fold mean increase in cerivastatin plasma levels following cotreatment with erythromycin or itraconazole, possibly because of metabolism via the alternate CYP 2C8 pathway

Sample Use Guides

The starting-dose of BAYCOL® is 0.4 mg once daily in the evening regardless of previous lipid therapy. Since the maximal effect of cerivastatin is seen within 4 weeks lipid determinations should be performed at this time and the dose adjusted based upon patient response. Only patients requiring further lipid adjustment should be titrated to 0.8 mg. The dosage range is 0.2 mg to 0.8 mg. Cerivastatin may be taken with or without food.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Cerivastatin inhibited the membrane-bound (non-solubilized) 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase of the native microsomal fraction isolated from rat liver with a Ki value of 1.3 nM. Cerivastatin inhibited the cholesterol synthesis in the human hepatoma cell line HepG2 cells with a IC50 value of 1.0 nM.
