The methyl ester of rosuvastatin elicited an endothelium-independent and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase-independent relaxant effect in rat aorta

Show other versions (1)

The relaxant effect of the methyl ester of rosuvastatin was evaluated on aortic rings from male Wistar rats (250-300 g, 6 rats for each experimental group) with and without endothelium precontracted with 1.0 µM phenylephrine. The methyl ester presented a slightly greater potency than rosuvastatin in...
