    Atorvastatin was only a weak substrate of MRP5 with an uptake ratio of 1.6 and was therefore not investigated further...Pravastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin acid were not transported by MRP1 or MRP5...These data indicate that MRP1 transports fluvastatin, while MRP5 transports both fluvastatin and pitavastatin. Because MRP1 and MRP5 are expressed in the skeletal muscle, they may reduce myocyte exposure to fluvastatin and pitavastatin and protect from muscle toxicity.

    Review, Journal:  Statin use in HIV: European AIDS Clinical Society guidance for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. (Pubmed Central) -  May 3, 2025   
    The Randomized Trial to Prevent Vascular Events in HIV (REPRIEVE) study showed that pitavastatin among people with HIV with low-to-moderate ASCVD risk significantly reduced the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events...Although the REPRIEVE study findings are expected to have a major effect on clinical care, implementation could be hampered by the absence of adequate guidance or access to statins, concerns about tolerability and potential drug interactions, and difficulties in maintaining adherence. These key recommendations from the European AIDS Clinical Society aim to provide support in this remit.

    Famotidine (gastric acid suppression) coadministration decreased GS-441524 exposure by approximately 26%; this was within the range of exposures observed in previous Phase III studies and was considered not clinically relevant...These findings indicate that obeldesivir has low potential for drug-drug interactions. Obeldesivir remains a promising treatment against a broad spectrum of viruses given its antiviral activity and favorable safety profile.

    Pitavastatin decreases oligomeric tau via autophagy activation (Venue 09 (Osaka International Convention Center, 12th floor, Conference Room 1202)) -  Mar 23, 2025 - Abstract #JSNE2025JSNE_1684;    
    This study demonstrated that pitavastatin reduces total tau and oligomeric tau through activation of autophagy. Although further investigation is needed, these results suggest that pitavastatin may be useful in preventing the progression of dementia diseases, including AD, by activating autophagy.

    INFLUENCE OF STATIN POTENCY AND LIPOSOLUBILITY ON ALZHEIMER () -  Mar 10, 2025 - Abstract #ADPD2025ADPD_1158;    
    A potential association between statins and the intake of AD medication has been observed. Specifically, low-potency (pitavastatin) and hydrophilic (rosuvastatin) statins were associated with less use of anti-AD medication.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Structural and functional implications of ABCC1 variants on clinical statin response. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 9, 2025   
    Here, we evaluated specific non-synonymous (SNV) missense variants in the ABCC1 gene from a FH patient cohort, assessing potential impacts on protein structure, molecular dynamics and interactions with rosuvastatin, atorvastatin, pravastatin, pitavastatin, and lovastatin...Interestingly, diminished binding affinities hinted at a compensatory mechanism wherein other transporters might mitigate potential ABCC1 mutation effects, ensuring effective drug efflux. Clinical profiles from the patient cohort did not show a correlation between these variants and clinical outcomes, potentially pointing to the role of alternate drug transporters in statin interaction.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Embryotoxicity of Statins and other Prescribed Drugs with Reported Off-target Effects on Cholesterol Biosynthesis. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 9, 2025   
    Our data show that statins are heterogenous with respect to their ability to cause embryonic lethality, with simvastatin, pitavastatin, lovastatin, cerivastatin, and fluvastatin being the most toxic ones...On the other hand, psychotropic drugs were less embryonic lethal than statins but caused similar phenotypes as well as microcephaly and holoprosencephaly. Our findings suggest that the proximal and distal inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis have different but overlapping effects on embryonic development.
  • ||||||||||  LIPOPHILIC STATIN USE IS ASSOCIATED WITH A LOWER RISK OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA IN METABOLIC DYSFUNCTION-ASSOCIATED STEATOTIC LIVER DISEASE (MASLD)-RELATED CIRRHOSIS (Halls C-E, Lower Level - SDCC) -  Mar 8, 2025 - Abstract #DDW2025DDW_1282;    
    Propensity score matching was performed between the two cohorts, hydrophilic statin (rosuvastatin and pravastatin) versus lipophilic statin (simvastatin, fluvastatin, pitavastatin, lovastatin, and atorvastatin) and the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval was calculated...After propensity score matching of 11 variables, including age, gender, race, BMI, history of diabetes, insulin or other oral diabetes medication, history of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and aspirin use, 3,073 patients in each group were included in the final analysis...Conclusions : Lipophilic statins were associated with a lower risk of HCC in MASLD cirrhosis patients, but no association was found with the risk of hepatic decompensation. Further larger prospective studies need to explore the different efficacy of statins for the prevention of HCC and hepatic decompensation in MASLD cirrhosis patients.

    Statin Effect Heterogeneity on Plaque Volume and Composition in the REPRIEVE Mechanistic Substudy (Poster Hall) -  Mar 3, 2025 - Abstract #CROI2025CROI_1364;    
    Conclusions These exploratory results suggest pitavastatin effects on NCP vary by demographic and cardiovascular risk factors; modification of statin effects by HIV risk factors was not apparent. The effect of pitavastatin appears greatest in reducing volume of fibrofatty plaque, which is thought to be the most biologically active component, and may increase plaque density.

    Prognostic Factors of Physical Function Decline in the PREPARE Study (Poster Hall) -  Mar 3, 2025 - Abstract #CROI2025CROI_945;    
    Background The Pitavastatin to REduce Physical Function Impairment and FRailty in HIV (PREPARE) substudy of REPRIEVE found small declines in physical function, and no evidence of pitavastatin effect...The sex difference was attenuated in models adjusted for BMI, history of depression treatment, and inflammatory markers, which were higher/more prevalent among females (1.16, 0.98-1.38 in females vs. males, when including hs-CRP). Conclusions PWH with history of depression, high BMI or levels of inflammation and those showing signs of impairment may benefit from early intervention strategies to preserve function with aging.

    Plaque, Inflammation, Subclinical Myocardial Injury, and MACE in the REPRIEVE Mechanistic Substudy (San Francisco Ballroom B) -  Mar 3, 2025 - Abstract #CROI2025CROI_293;    
    This analysis suggests that the benefit of pitavastatin to prevent MACE may be greater in persons with preexisting plaque and baseline levels of subclinical myocardial injury. Further investigation is needed to determine whether plaque and/or biomarkers can help identify PWH at highest risk who would most benefit from statin prevention.

    This study demonstrates the important role of SLCO1B1 in pravastatin and pitavastatin pharmacokinetics and suggests that CYP2C9 variants also affect the pharmacokinetics of pitavastatin. Statin use is associated with improved outcomes following sepsis-related intensive care unit (ICU) admission, most likely from its pleiotropic properties, characterized by lower 90-day and in-hospital mortality among statin users.

    Journal:  The Association of Statin Therapy with Liver and Pancreatic Fat Fraction in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 26, 2025   
    In patients with T2DM, statin use did not show a significant effect on the liver fat fraction, but it caused differences in the pancreatic fat fraction. The observation of a lower pancreatic fat fraction in patients taking a rosuvastatin and atorvastatin dose of 40 mg/day suggests that different types and doses of statins may have varying effects on pancreatic fat accumulation.

    Inhaled Pitavastatin Inhibits Bronchoconstriction in an Experimental Sheep Lung Model (Area D, Hall F (North Building, Exhibition Level), Moscone Center; Poster Board # P439) -  Feb 24, 2025 - Abstract #ATS2025ATS_1264;    
    The efficacy of inhaled Pitavastatin rivals that of Salbutamol, a beta2-agonist, but aditional research is warranted in inflammatory allergic models of asthma. Inhaled statins have the potential to be a novel class of inhaled bronchodilators for the treatment of bronchoconstriction in obstructive airway diseases such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
