    Most efficacious in lowering LDL-C levels, statins block the action of HMG-CoA reductase through competitive inhibition. [18] HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme found in hepatocytes, is responsible for the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonic acid for cholesterol biosynthesis. Inhibition of this enzyme reduces the synthesis and thus, availability of ...
