Pitavastatin Calcium is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme HMGCR. Alternate studies show that pitavastatin can suppress oxygen production in endothelial cells by inhibiting Nox. In addition, pitavastatin reduces the expression of eNOS mRNA while increasing the NO dependent response stimulated by acetylcholine and the calcium ionophore, A23187.
