What is Atorvastatin?
Atorvastatin is a dihydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is a member of the drug class known as statins, used primarily for lowering blood cholesterol and for preventing cardiovascular diseases. It has a role as a xenobiotic and an environmental contaminant. It is a member of pyrroles, a dihydroxy monocarboxylic acid, an aromatic amide, a member of monofluorobenzenes and a statin (synthetic). It is functionally related to a heptanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of an atorvastatin(1-).
