which statins are most lipophilic
Statins are sometimes described as being either lipophilic (hydrophobic) or hydrophilic (lipophobic) as though that were a binary condition. While Pravastatin is extremely hydrophilic, fluvastatin is an example of a statin occupying an intermetiate position. Hydrophilic statins: Pravastatin & Rosuvastatin (Crestor) Lipophilic: Lovastatin and Simvastatin are the most lipophilic. Atorvastatin & Cerivastatin less so. I have seen Fluvastatin placed in both categories. The lipophilic statins tend to increase insulin resistance, which may be a significant issue in PCa, IMO.
