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.[1]

Aplicação

Simvastatin has been used:
  • as an inhibitor of HMG CoA reductase (HMGCR)[2]
  • to study its effects on epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma[3]
  • in in vivo studies to test its effect on brain tumor−initiating cells (BTIC) viability and cell proliferation[4]
  • 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

Ações bioquímicas/fisiológicas

Simvastatin is a specific inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol lowering drug.
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 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 is a synthetic analog of lovastatin (Cat. No. M2147).

It may also have beneficial effects on endothelial function, inflammation, smooth muscle cell function, vascular wall function,[5] hemostasis and LDL oxidation.

  2. How can S6196 be stored for long term storage after DMSO resuspension?

    1 answer

    1. The solubility of this material has not been tested in DMSO. However, external sources report that Simvastatin is soluble in DMSO at >50 mg/mL. Stock solutions may be stored in DMSO at -20°C for at least 1 month. This information has not been validated. As a general rule, avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

  3. What happens when the drug is not activated before use in in vitro experiments?

    1 answer

    1. This material does not require activation for cell-based in vitro studies, as it is readily hydrolyzed by the cells. For experiments without live cells the product will remain inactive. This material may be chemically activated per M. Sadeghi et al., J. Immunol., 165, 2712-2718 (2000) as noted below:
      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.

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

    1 answer

    1. 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. Reference: Determination of Simvastatin in human plasma by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.  J. Chromatography B, 785(2), 369-375 (2003).
