Lovastatin is a member of the drug class of statins, used for lowering cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular disease (hypolipidemic agents). The mode of action of statins is HMG-CoA reductase enzyme inhibition. This enzyme is needed by the body to make cholesterol.
Lovastatin is indicated for reducing the risk of Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and for treating Hypercholesterolemia.
Lovastatin was isolated from a strain of Aspergillus terreus and it was the first statin approved by the FDA (August 1987).
