USE OF ATORVASTATIN LACTOLS IN TREATING CONDITIONS MODULATED BY 3-HYDROXY-3-METHYLGLUTARYL-COENZYME A REDUCTASE

摘要

The invention relates to the discovery of novel atorvastatin analogues. More specifically, the invention relates to novel atorvastatin analogues which have utility in treating conditions treatable by the inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase. The novel atorvastatin analogues are compounds of formula (I)in which R-Rand X are as defined in the specification.
