| Targets |
HMG-CoA Reductase (HMGCR). (3S,5R)-Fluvastatin D6 sodium is a competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the mevalonate pathway that converts HMG-CoA to mevalonate. By blocking this step, it reduces de novo cholesterol synthesis in the liver, leading to upregulated LDL receptor expression and increased clearance of circulating LDL cholesterol. The D6-labeled version is used as an analytical internal standard and does not contribute to pharmacological activity.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Not applicable (internal standard for bioanalysis, not tested in activity assays). The parent drug (3S,5R)-Fluvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase with an IC50 of 8 nM in cell-free enzyme assays. The D6-labeled form has nearly identical chemical and chromatographic properties, allowing it to serve as an internal standard in LC-MS/MS. It is not assessed for biological activity in functional assays.
|
| ln Vivo |
Not applicable (internal standard, not administered as a test article). The parent drug Fluvastatin (3S,5R)-Fluvastatin sodium is used in hypercholesterolemic animal models. Oral administration (0.1-10 mg/kg) lowers plasma total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels by 40-60% in dogs and rats. The D6-labeled version is not evaluated in efficacy studies. It is used as an internal standard for LC-MS/MS quantification of Fluvastatin in pharmacokinetic studies.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
HMG-CoA reductase inhibition is measured using recombinant human HMGCR enzyme (0.1-0.5 U/mL) incubated with [14C]-HMG-CoA (50 microM), NADPH (0.5 mM), and varying concentrations of Fluvastatin (0.1-100 nM) in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) at 37degC for 30-60 minutes. The reaction is terminated by adding 6M HCl, and the product [14C]-mevalonolactone is separated by TLC or extraction and quantified by liquid scintillation. (3S,5R)-Fluvastatin D6 sodium is not used in the inhibition assay; it is used as an internal standard.
|
| Cell Assay |
Not applicable (internal standard, not used in cell-based assays). For quality control of the internal standard, a stock solution of (3S,5R)-Fluvastatin D6 sodium is prepared in methanol or acetonitrile (0.1-1 mg/mL). The solution is injected onto an LC-MS/MS system to verify isotopic purity (>98% D6) and chemical purity (>98%). Chromatographic conditions: C18 column, mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid in water/acetonitrile gradient, ESI negative ionization, MRM transition m/z 416 → 386 (or appropriate D6 mass shift).
|
| Animal Protocol |
Not applicable (internal standard, not administered as a test article in efficacy studies). For pharmacokinetic studies using the internal standard, male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-250 g, n=6) are dosed orally with unlabeled Fluvastatin (3-10 mg/kg). Blood samples are collected at pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose. Plasma is protein-precipitated with acetonitrile containing (3S,5R)-Fluvastatin D6 sodium as the internal standard. Supernatant is injected onto an LC-MS/MS system, and Fluvastatin concentrations are calculated from the peak area ratio. PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax, AUC, t½) are determined.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
(3S,5R)-Fluvastatin D6 sodium is a stable isotope-labeled internal standard (SIL-IS) with a mass shift of +6 Da. The parent drug Fluvastatin has an oral bioavailability of approximately 20-30% in humans due to extensive first-pass metabolism (primarily CYP2C9). It is highly protein bound (>98%), with a terminal half-life of approximately 1-2 hours. The D6-labeled version has identical extraction recovery, ionization efficiency, and chromatographic behavior, enabling accurate quantification.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The D6-labeled version is for research use only and not for human consumption. The parent drug Fluvastatin is generally well tolerated. Common adverse effects include mild GI disturbances (constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia), headache, and myalgia. Serious but rare side effects include myopathy, rhabdomyolysis (<0.1%), and hepatotoxicity (elevated liver transaminases). Fluvastatin carries a pregnancy category X risk. The D6-labeled version is not administered to humans.

| Additional Infomation |
(3S,5R)-Fluvastatin D6 sodium is a deuterated internal standard for the quantitative analysis of Fluvastatin in biological matrices using LC-MS/MS. Fluvastatin (Lescol®) was the first fully synthetic statin approved by the FDA in 1993. The D6-labeled version is used in pharmacokinetic studies, bioequivalence trials, and drug-drug interaction assessments (especially with CYP2C9 inhibitors). This compound is a valuable research tool for pharmaceutical analysis and clinical pharmacology.
