Hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, also called statins, are antilipemic agents "that inhibit HMG-CoA reductases, which reduce the chemical 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl CoA. They have been shown to directly lower cholesterol synthesis.[1]

Classification

The following classification has been proposed based on molecular structure:[2][3]

Type 1

Type 1 statins (e.g., mevastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin) bind to HMG-CoA reductase using a decalin ring.

Type 2

Type 2 statins (e.g., fluvastatin, cerivastatin, atorvastatin, and rosuvastatin) bind to HMG-CoA reductase using a fluorophenyl group.

Effectiveness

Statins can help in the primary prevention of coronary heart disease among patients at risk.[4]

Diabetic patients

Statin therapy benefited about 1 of every 24 diabetic patients who used the treatment for 5 years if they are similar to the patients in the meta-analysis by Kearney et al (number needed to treat is 24).[5]

Patients with average LDL cholesterol levels

Statin therapy benefited about 1 of every 24 patients with LDL cholesterol that averaged 150 mg per deciliter who took lovastatin 20-40 mg daily for 5 years if they are similar to the patients in the AFCAPS/TexCAPS randomized controlled trial (number needed to treat is 24).[6]

Patients with normal LDL cholesterol levels

Statin therapy benefited about 1 of every 170 patients with LDL cholesterol less than 130 mg per deciliter (3.4 mmol per liter) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels of 2.0 mg per liter or higher who took rosuvastatin 20 mg daily for 2 years if they are similar to the patients in the JUPITER randomized controlled trial (number needed to treat for two years is 170).[7][8] The frequency of death from any cause fell from 2.8% to 2.2% (number needed to treat for two years is 180). However, this trial was stopped early after an interim analysis so it is likely that the result is exaggerated.

Rosuvastatin may also prevent venous embolism and thrombosis.[9]

Adverse effects

Hematological

Mild thrombocytopenia has been reported.[10][11][12] One cohort study reported that 8% of patients developed thrombocytopenia while taking simvastatin.[13]

Diabetes

Statins may[14][15] or may not[16] increase diabetes according to meta-analyses:
