A strategy for designing more effective
cholesterol-lowering drugs may come
from the first studies of the structural
mechanism by which the widely
prescribed statin drugs, such as Lipitor
and Zocor, lower cholesterol.
Although the statin drugs -- which are regarded
as blockbuster drugs for the
pharmaceutical industry -- are effective at
reducing cholesterol, the new
structural studies suggest there is room for
improvement.
