An Update on New Cholesterol Inhibitor: Bempedoic Acid

An increase in the level of cholesterol day by day is easily seen in most people just becauseof poor life style, food with high cholesterol, lack of physical work, etc. There are lots ofmolecules available, which lower down the cholesterol level. In this field a new molecule has beenintroduced that is bimpedoic acid. Researches indicate that bempedoic acid has the same mechanismof action as statins, which means that it also inhibits the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme. Thisarticle is my best collection of published scientific data on bempedoic acid till now. It also includesthe chemistry, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic parameters of the mentioned new molecule.
