Product Description

Atorvastatin (CI-981; CI981; Tozalip; Torvast; Cardyl; liptonorm) is an approved blockbuster drug of the statin class used as an LDL cholesterol-lowering/hypolipidemic medication. It act as a potent and selective inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HMG-CoA reductase
ln Vitro
By downregulating the expression of GRP78, caspase-12, and CHOP in cardiomyocytes during myocardial infarction, atorvastatin treatment lowers cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Additionally, it stimulates the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in response to heart failure and angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulation. ) tension. 4].
ln Vivo
Treatment with atorvastatin (20–30 mg/kg; oral gavage; once daily; for 28 days; ApoE−/− mice) markedly decreased the amount of apoptotic cells, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling proteins, and Caspase12 and Caspase12 activation. Bax in ApoE-/- mice triggered by Ang II. Following atorvastatin treatment, pro-inflammatory cytokines such IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1β were markedly suppressed [5].
Enzyme Assay
The HMG-CoA reductase assay kit from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA) with the catalytic domain of the human enzyme (recombinant GST fusion protein expressed in E. coli) was used, under conditions recommended by the manufacturer, to identify the most effective fraction of plant extract. The concentration of the purified human enzyme stock solution (Sigma) was 0.52–0.85 mg protein/mL. Reference statin drug pravastatin (from Sigma) was used as positive control. To characterize HMG-CoA reductase inhibition under defined assay conditions, reactions containing 4 μL of NADPH (to obtain a final concentration of 400 μM) and 12 μL of HMG-CoA substrate (to obtain a final concentration of 400 μM) in a final volume of 0.2 mL of 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 (containing 120 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, and 5 mM DTT), were initiated (time 0) by the addition of 2 μL of the catalytic domain of human recombinant HMG-CoA reductase and incubated in Eppendorf BioSpectrometer (equipped with thermostatically controlled cell holder) at 37°C in the presence or absence (control) of 1 μL aliquots of drugs dissolved in DMSO. The rates of NADPH consumed were monitored every 20 sec for up to 15 min by scanning spectrophotometrically [7].
Cell Assay
Cell proliferation assays were performed essentially as described previously. Briefly, SV-SMC from 5 different patients were seeded into 24-well cell culture plates at a density of 1 × 104 cells per well in full growth medium. Cells were incubated overnight and then quiesced in serum free medium for 3 days before transfer to full growth medium (10% FCS) containing 5 different statins at a range of concentrations. All statins were tested on cells from each individual patient. Medium and drugs were replaced after 2 days, and viable cell numbers were determined in triplicate wells after 4 days using Trypan Blue and a hemocytometer. The increase in cell number was calculated by subtracting the starting cell number (day 0) from the final cell number (day 4). Data were then normalized to control values (no statin) to correct for differences in proliferation rates between cells from different patients [2].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: 40 8weeks old ApoE−/− mice, angiotensin II (Ang II) induced [5]
Doses: 20 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); one time/day; continuous 28-day
Experimental Results: Endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling proteins, the number of apoptotic cells, and the activation of Caspase12 and Bax were Dramatically diminished in Ang II-induced ApoE−/− mice. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1β were Dramatically 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
