Answer 2

Statins are the commercial blood Cholesterol lowering agents.

Explanation:

• Statins are the biomolecules that are actually the HMG CoA reductase inhibitors.

• These statins are produced from the fungi like Aspergillus, Penicillium etc.

• These statins react with the HMG CoA reductase enzyme and competes with HMG CoA to inhibit the enzyme.

• In absence of HMG CoA, the Cholesterol won't be produced and thus they inhibit the Cholesterol synthesis in body.
• This is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme which gets more in concentration than HMG CoA and thereby reduces the amount of cholesterol produced. Atorvastatin is most commonly prescribed statins.
