Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel β-cyclodextrin-fluvastatin conjugates

Drugs that may regulate lipid metabolism and lower cholesterol, such as statins (drugs that reduce de novo cholesterol synthesis) or cyclodextrins (that promote cholesterol removal), are currently investigated as potential therapeutics for neuronal disorders like Alzheimer’s and Niemann Pick type C...
