摘要：

Statins are major type of cholesterol-lowing drugs,in which the(3R,5S)-dihydroxy esters are key structure and important intermediates for the function and production of statins.Bearing two chiral carbon atoms,the production of(3R,5S)-dihydroxy esters may be the rate-limiting steps in the statins manufacture.In this paper,the species,mechanisms,structures and synthetic routes of statins were summarized.Several biocatalystic routes for production of(3R,5S)-dihydroxy esters were also reviewed.
