Western blotting showed that in U87 cells treated with pitavastatin, the LC3-II isoform dramatically increased after statin treatment and showed at day 2, 3 and 4.

Fewer proliferative cells were detected in the tumour after pitavastatin treatment according to the Ki67 staining results but not in fluvastatin group.

Western blot analysis of Nrf2, NQO1, and HO-1 in statin-treated VSMCs. Cells were exposed to fluvastatin and pitavastatin for 24 h at the indicated dosages. In addition, protein samples were refined from cultured VSMCs treated with fluvastatin (5 μM) or pitavastatin (5 μM) for the indicated times.

| In vitro |
Pitavastatin significantly reduces both intracellular levels and synthesis of cholesterol esters. Pitavastatin is found to enhance LDL-receptor expression in vitro, as well as the amount of LDL binding to the LDL-receptor. Pitavastatin also exhibits more potent induction of LDL receptor mRNA expression compared with simvastatin and atorvastatin. Pitavastatin has many pleiotropic effects in vitro and in vivo, including deterring progression of atherosclerosis via inhibition of thromboxane synthesis, inhibition of migration/proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells induced by angiotensin II, and stabilization of atherosclerotic plaque. [1] Pitavastatin is able to activate PPARα and induce HDL apoA-I through inducing inhibition of the Rho-signaling pathway. [2] Pitavastatin (1 μM) treatment for 48 h is able to enhances bone morphogenetic protein-2 BMP-2 (2.5-fold) and osteocalcin (10-fold) expression by inhibition of Rho-associated kinase in human osteoblasts[3]. Pitavastatin inhibits growth and colony formation of liver cancer Huh-7 cells and SMMC7721 cells. It induces arrest of liver cancer cells at the G1 phase. Increased proportion of sub-G1 cells is observed after pitavastatin treatment. Pitavastatin promotes caspase-9 cleavage and caspase-3 cleavage in liver cancer cells. Pitavastatin could regulate NF-κB and anti-inflammation in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Pitavastatin could induce autophagic cell death in glioma cells and promote sensitivity of cells to radiotherapy. It could inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis in cholangiocarcinoma cells as well[5]. |

| In vivo | Pitavastatin decreases the tumor growth and improved the survival of tumor-bearing mice[5]. Pitavastatin exerts a protective effect on dilated cardiomyopathy possibly through down-regulating the circulating and local RAS, followed by inhibition of PKCb2 phosphorylation, and consequently promoting the phosphorylation of PLB as well as the activity and the expressions of SERCA2a and RyR2, whereby heart function is preserved in the development of DCM[6]. |

Bio Calculators
Molarity Calculator
Calculate the mass, volume or concentration required for a solution. The Selleck molarity calculator is based on the following equation:
Mass (mg) = Concentration (mM) × Volume (mL) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)
*When preparing stock solutions, please always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the via label and MSDS / COA (available on product pages).
Dilution Calculator
Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution. The Selleck dilution calculator is based on the following equation:
Concentration (start) x Volume (start) = Concentration (final) x Volume (final)
This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2 ( Input Output )
* When preparing stock solutions always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the vial label and MSDS / COA (available online).

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
