Introduction:
Lovastatin, with the chemical formula C24H36O5 and CAS registry number 75330-75-5, is a compound known for its cholesterol-lowering properties. This white, crystalline powder is derived from a natural product found in certain fungi. Lovastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis, thereby reducing the levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood. It is commonly prescribed as a medication to treat high cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Lovastatin has been extensively studied and has shown efficacy in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. However, it may also have some side effects, such as muscle pain and liver abnormalities. Overall, Lovastatin is an important pharmaceutical compound that plays a crucial role in managing cholesterol levels and promoting cardiovascular health.

2.13 Toxicity Summary
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Lovastatin; is a white, non-hygroscopic crystalline powder. It is used for therapy as anticholesteremic agent, and Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA; (HMG-CoA;) reductase inhibitor. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Lovastatin;, like other inhibitors of HMG-CoA; reductase, occasionally causes myopathy manifested as muscle pain, tenderness or weakness with creatine; kinase above ten times the upper limit of normal. Myopathy sometimes takes the form of rhabdomyolysis with or without acute renal failure secondary to myoglobinuria, and rare fatalities have occurred. The risk of myopathy is increased by high levels of HMG-CoA; reductase inhibitory activity in plasma. There have been rare postmarketing reports of fatal and non-fatal hepatic failure in patients taking statins, including lovastatin;. Treatment of HL-60 cells with lovastatin; induced characteristic apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. ANIMAL STUDIES: Lovastatin; produced optic nerve degeneration (Wallerian degeneration of retinogeniculate fibers) in clinically normal dogs in a dose-dependent fashion starting at 60 mg/kg/day. Vestibulocochlear Wallerian-like degeneration and retinal; ganglion cell chromatolysis were also seen in dogs treated for 14 weeks at 180 mg/kg/day. CNS vascular lesions, characterized by perivascular hemorrhage and edema, mononuclear cell infiltration of perivascular spaces, perivascular fibrin deposits and necrosis of small vessels, were seen in dogs treated with lovastatin; at a dose of 180 mg/kg/day. In mice given oral lovastatin; dosages of 100 or 500 mg/kg daily, an increase in the incidence of papilloma in the nonglandular mucosa of the stomach was observed. Since the glandular mucosa of the stomach in these rodents was not affected and the human stomach contains only glandular mucosa, the importance of this finding to humans is unclear. An increased incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma and adenoma was observed after 21 months in mice given oral lovastatin; 500 mg/kg daily. Drug-related testicular atrophy, decreased spermatogenesis, spermatocytic degeneration and giant cell formation were seen in dogs starting at 20 mg/kg/day. Direct dosing of neonatal rats by subcutaneous injection with 10 mg/kg/day of the open hydroxyacid form of lovastatin; resulted in delayed passive avoidance learning in female rats. Lovastatin; has been shown to produce skeletal malformations in offspring of pregnant mice and rats dosed during gestation at 80 mg/kg/day. Lovastatin; did not exhibit mutagenic potential in in vitro mammalian cell systems (rat or mouse hepatocytes, V-79 cell forward mutation study), in vitro (Chinese hamster ovary cell) or in vivo (mouse bone marrow) chromosomal aberration studies, or microbial (Ames test) systems with or without metabolic activation. There is some in vitro evidence, however, that inhibition of HMG-CoA; reductase can inhibit DNA synthesis during the S phase of the cell life cycle; this inhibition appears to result from depletion of mevalonic acid; and is independent of its conversion to cholesterol;.

3. Use and Manufacturing
3.1 General Description
Lovastatin is a hexahydro naphthalene ester isolated from Aspergillus terreus broth. It is an inactive lactone only yielding activity upon hydrolysis after oral administration. It has a strong competitive inhibition on the HMG-CoA reductase in the liver. HMG-CoA reductase is rate-limiting enzyme for de novo cholesterol synthesis in vivo. The inhibition of the enzyme can block the conversion of HMG-CoA to methacrylic acid, causing significant reduction in cholesterol synthesis, and leading to increased expression of the liver LDL receptor which promotes the plasma LDL-C clearance. The reduction of cholesterol synthesis can also cause reduced synthesis of liver ApoB100, thus causing that reduction of VLDL synthesis. Clinical observations show that it has a good effect of lowering of plasma total cholesterol and LDLC on hypercholesterolemia caused by various kinds of reasons such as heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, polygenic hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes or kidney disease syndrome.Statins are the secondary metabolites of filamentous fungi. It is capable of selectively inhibiting the activity of HMG coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase and blocking cholesterol biosynthesis, which is due to the similarity of its acid structure with HMG-CoA. These drugs currently used in humans (statin drugs, statins) are mainly either natural or synthetic statins. Natural statins include lovastatin, mevastatin, Pravastatin and simvastatin. Lovastatin is produced by the fermentation of Aspergillus terreus); mevastatin is produced through the fermentation of penicillium citrinum and further conversion by streptomyces carbophilus; Simvastatin is made by semi-synthesis (chemically modified side chains) through lovastatin. Synthetic statins include fluvastatin, cerivastatin and atorvastatin.

Lovastatin; is the delta-lactone of mevinolinic acid; and is produced by fermentation of Aspergillus terreus. The drug has also been isolated as a fermentation metabolite of Monascus ruber.
3.4 Usage
It is used for treating heterozygous familial and non familial, secondary hyperlipidemia, namely diabetes and nephrotic syndrome secondary hypercholesterolemia.
