Descrição geral

Simvastatin is a prodrug. Simvastatin is a semisynthetic derivative/analog of lovastatin. Simvastatin is insoluble in water but is soluble in polar organic solvents.

Aplicação

Simvastatin has been used:
  • as an inhibitor of HMG CoA reductase (HMGCR)
  • to study its effects on epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma
  • in in vivo studies to test its effect on brain tumor−initiating cells (BTIC) viability and cell proliferation
  • to study the role of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter A7 in phagocytosis of Jurkat cells
  • to study the effect on endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in mice

Embalagem

5 mg in glass bottle
25 mg in poly bottle

Ações bioquímicas/fisiológicas

Simvastatin is a specific inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, an early step in cholesterol biosynthesis. It is used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, as it reduces levels of low-density lipoproteins cholesterol and triglycerides, and raises high-density lipoprotein levels. Simvastatin is a lactone that is readily hydrolyzed in vivo to the corresponding β-hydroxyacid and can be activated prior to use with NaOH in EtOH treatment. It may also have beneficial effects on endothelial function, inflammation, smooth muscle cell function, vascular wall function, hemostasis and LDL oxidation.

  2. How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?

    The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.

  3. What is Product S6196, Simvastatin, soluble in?

    According to the chemicals encyclopedia published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, 14th ed., Entry # 8539, simvastatin is soluble in chloroform at 610 mg/mL, DMSO at 540 mg/mL, methanol at 200 mg/mL, ethanol at 160 mg/mL, 0.1 M HCl at 60 μg/mL, PEG-400 at 70 mg/mL, 0.1 M NaOH at 70 mg/mL, and water at 30 μg/mL. Please note that some of the values are given in milligrams per mL and others are in micrograms per mL.

  4. How is Product S6196, Simvastatin, activated?

    An activation procedure from M. Sadeghi, et al., J. Immunol., 165, 2712-2718 (2000) is:1. 4 mg of simvastatin is dissolved in 100 μl of ethanol.2. Then 150 μl of 0.1 N NaOH was added to the solution and subsequently incubated at 50 °C for 2 hours.3. The pH was brought to 7.0 by HCl, and the final concentration of the stock solution was adjusted to 4 mg/ml. The stock solution was kept at 4 °C.

  5. What is the solution stability of Product S6196, Simvastatin, in various solvents?

    Sigma-Aldrich has not determined the solution stability of simvastatin. One publication on the subject, published by Yang, H. et al., reports that a 50 mg/mL stock solution of simvastatin in methanol was stored for one month at 4°C.
