Rosuvastatin calcium

Rosuvastatin Calcium (CAS 147098-20-2) is a calcium salt form of rosuvastatin, a synthetic HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor belonging to the statin class. It is commercially recognised under trade names including Crestor, Rostar, and Fortius, and carries the development code S-4522. No E-code designation applies to this substance.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, rosuvastatin calcium serves as the active pharmaceutical ingredient in finished-dose formulations targeting hypercholesterolaemia and mixed dyslipidaemia. It functions by competitively inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis, thereby reducing LDL-C and triglyceride levels. It is also used as a reference standard in analytical method development and bioequivalence studies.

This material is supplied as a pharmaceutical-grade powder compliant with Ph.Eur. and USP monograph specifications, and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU. It is classified under HS code 29350090. Packaging is available in quantities suited to development and commercial-scale procurement.
