描述 | The enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA )reductase is the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis, converting HMG-CoA to mevalonic acid, which through a series of additional steps is converted to cholesterol. Simvastatin is a long-established HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.[4].Simvastatin suppresses cholesterol synthesis in mouse L-M cell, rat H4II E cell, and human Hep G2 cell with IC50s of 19.3 nM, 13.3 nM and 15.6 nM, respectively[5]. Simvastatin causes a dose-dependent increase in serine 473 phosphorylation of Akt within 30 minutes, with maximal phosphorylation occurring at 1.0 µM. Simvastatin (1.0 μM) enhances phosphorylation of the endogenous Akt substrate endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), inhibits serum-free media undergo apoptosis and accelerates vascular structure formation[6]. Simvastatin shows anti-inflammatory effects, reduces anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibody-stimulated proliferation of PB-derived mononuclear cells and synovial fluid cells from rheumatoid arthritis blood, as well as IFN-γ release at 10 μM. Simvastatin (10 μM) also blocks cell-mediated macrophage TNF-γ release induced via cognate interactions[7]. Simvastatin (5 μM) significantly reduces the expression of ABCA1 in astrocytes and neuroblastoma cells, the expression of apolipoprotein E in astrocytes, and increases cyclin-dependent kinase 5 and glycogen synthase kinase 3β expression in SK-N-SH cells[8]. | ||
作用机制 | Simvastatin acts by decreasing cholesterol synthesis and by increasing low density lipoprotein (LDL) catabolism via increased LDL receptor activity. It also produces a beneficial moderate decrease in plasma triglycerides and a small, although significant, increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol.[3]. |
