Abstract

Atorvastatin (ATS) is widely used to treat high cholesterol and potentially lower the risk of cardiac complications. Absorption and disposition of atorvastatin and the metabolites 2-hydroxy atorvastatin (2-OH ATS), 4-hydroxy atorvastatin (4-OH ATS) and atorvastatin lactone (AL) is governed by complex interplay of multiple enzymes and transporters.
