Description

Description générale

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

Application

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

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

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, hemostasis and LDL oxidation.
