O-Methyl Atorvastatin hemicalcium is primarily used in pharmaceutical research and development as an intermediate in the synthesis of atorvastatin, a widely prescribed cholesterol-lowering drug. It plays a critical role in the production process, enabling the creation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that is formulated into medications for managing hyperlipidemia and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Its application ensures the efficient and scalable production of atorvastatin, contributing to the availability of effective treatments for patients with high cholesterol levels.
