Definitions
- the present invention relates to an active substance combination comprising at least one substituted pyrazoline compound and at least one statin compound, a medicament comprising said active substance combination, a pharmaceutical formulation comprising said active substance combination and the use of said active substance combination for the manufacture of a medicament.
- HMG-CoA 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A
- mevalonate is an early step in the biosynthetic pathway of cholesterol. This step is catalyzed by the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase.
- Statins inhibit HMG-CoA reductase from catalyzing this conversion. Statins, as such, are quite potent lipid lowering agents and are useful for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
- a safety concern related to the use of statins is the development of rhabdomyolysis, the pathological breakdown of skeletal muscle, which may lead to acute renal failure when muscle breakdown products damage the kidney. Consequently, there is still a big demand for potent cardioprotective agents, possibly, showing less incidents of undesired side effects of statins, or at least less pronounced.
- statins are supported by their administration in combination with one or more substituted pyrazoline compounds of general formula I and/or I' given below. Consequently, the dosage of the statin compound may be lowered and the incidence and intensity of undesired side effects may be reduced.
