Product Description

Atorvastatin Calcium (CI-981; CI981; Atorvastatin hemicalcium; liptonorm), an approved blockbuster drug of the statin class of LDL cholesterol-lowering/hypolipidemic medications, is a potent and selective inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase with anti-hyperlipidemic effects. Atorvastatin isthe best-selling drug in the history of pharmaceuticals with a total of around US$130 billion for Pfizer during its 14 years on the market, making it the world's bestselling drug of all time. It acts by blocking the production of cholesterol. Atorvastatin is used primarily for lowering blood cholesterol and for prevention of events associated with cardiovascular disease.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
After myocardial infarction, atorvastatin treatment reduces myocardial cell apoptosis by downregulating the expression of GRP78, caspase-12, and CHOP in myocardial cells. Additionally, heart failure and angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulation trigger endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress[4].
ln Vivo
In the Ang II-induced ApoE-/- mice, atorvastatin (20–30 mg/kg; oral gavage; once daily; for 28 days; ApoE−/− mice) treatment dramatically reduces the amount of apoptotic cells, the activation of Caspase12 and Bax, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling proteins. After taking atorvastatin, proinflammatory cytokines like IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1β are all noticeably inhibited[5].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Forty 8weeks old ApoE− /− mice induced with angiotensin II (Ang II)[5]
Doses: 20 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); one time/day; for 28 days
Experimental Results: Dramatically decreased ER stress signaling proteins, the number of apoptotic cells, and the activation of Caspase12 and Bax in the Ang II-induced ApoE−/− mice. Proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β were all remarkably inhibited

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
