Description of Simvastatin (sodium salt)

Ki: 0.12 nM

Simvastatin is a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.

HMG-CoA reductase has been found to be the rate-limiting enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway and the target of the “statin” class of cholesterol-lowering drugs.

In vitro: Previous study found that simvastatin could inhibit the incorporation of 14C-acetate to 14C-sterol with an IC50 value of 15 nm in cultured Hep G2 cells. In addition, simvastatin was found to be a potent inhibitor of cholesterol synthesis in cultured liver cells, whereas pravastatin inhibited cholesterol synthesis in liver cells only after these cells had been digested by collagenase [1].

In vivo: Animal study showd that rats orally dosed with simvastatin had lower plasma cholesterol levels after 4 days of treatment. At the level of 0.02% of the diet, simvastatin lowered plasma cholesterol levels in rats by 64%. Moreove, in dogs, simvastatin at a daily oral dosage of 8 mg/kg lower levels of plasma cholesterol. At this dosage, simvastatin was slightly more potent than lovastatin and the levels of plasma cholesterol in these dogs returned to pretreatment levels after stopping the treatment [1].

Clinical trial: Previous clinical study found that both atorvastatin and simvastatin had significant PD reduction and RAL gain than placebo. Atorvastatin group showed greater mean PD reduction and mean RAL gain as compared to simvastatin group. Furthermore, atorvastatin group exhibited a significantly greater percentage of radiographic defect depth reduction as compared to simvastatin at 6 and 9 months [2].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
