The present invention relates to novel anhydrous amorphous forms of
bis[(E)[4-(4-fluorophenyl)isopropyl[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]pyrimidin-
yl](3R,5S)-3,5-dihydroxyhept enoic acid]calcium salt (rosuvastatin
calcium), (.+-.)7-(3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-indol-2-yl)3,5-
-dihydroxy heptenoic acid monosodium salt (fluvastatin sodium) and
bis[(E)-3,5-dihydroxy-7-[4'-(4''-fluorophenyl)-2'-cyclopropyl-quinolin-3'-
-hept-6-enoic acid]calcium salt (pitavastatin calcium), to processes for
their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to
methods of treatment using the same. The rosuvastatin calcium,
pitavastatin calcium and fluvastatin sodium obtained are known valuable
agents useful in treating hyperlipidemia and hypercholestrolemia.
