The effects and safety of simvastatin, an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, were investigated alone or in association with cholestyramine in 66 patients with hypercholesterolaemia, in a 1-year study. In type IIa hypercholesterolaemia (41 patients), the association was more effective than simvastatin used alone in lowering total cholesterol (37% vs 29%) and LDL-cholesterol (45% vs 37%). In type IIb hypercholesterolaemia (23 patients), the association simvastatin-cholestyramine did not appear more effective than simvastatin used alone. The decrease of apoprotein B was parallel to the LDL-cholesterol decrease. Apoprotein A1 did not change significantly. The long-term safety of simvastatin was good. No lens opacity was noted. The most serious side-effect in our study was myolysis which occurred in two patients with a marked increase in creatine phosphokinase.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008148 Lovastatin A fungal metabolite isolated from cultures of Aspergillus terreus. The compound is a potent anticholesteremic agent. It inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HYDROXYMETHYLGLUTARYL COA REDUCTASES), which is the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. It also stimulates the production of low-density lipoprotein receptors in the liver.
