The paper mentions that Atorvastatin lactone and the lactones of hydroxy metabolites are converted to their corresponding acid forms via base hydrolysis, and these acids are quantified if they demonstrate HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity. This implies that Atorvastatin lactone itself may not be an active inhibitor but becomes one upon hydrolysis. [1]

| Enzyme Assay |
It is a component measured within a larger HMG-CoA reductase inhibition assay protocol. In this protocol, for the determination of "total" inhibitor concentration, plasma samples are treated with potassium hydroxide (0.5 N) to hydrolyze Atorvastatin lactone and other lactones to their acid forms. After pH adjustment, the resulting acids are then measured via their ability to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase in the enzyme assay. [1]

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
It is mentioned that in clinical studies, the areas under the concentration-time curves (AUCs) of the lactone and the acid forms of atorvastatin were determined to be similar. Consequently, using the enzyme inhibition assay approach, the concentrations of 'total' HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (which include acids derived from lactones after hydrolysis) and their AUCs would be approximately twice that of the concentration and AUCs of the 'active' inhibitors (atorvastatin acid and its hydroxy acid metabolites).
A representative plasma concentration profile is shown (Fig. 6), illustrating that post-dose concentrations obtained for the 'total' inhibitors (which include the contribution from hydrolyzed lactone) are close to double the concentrations of the 'active inhibitors'. The assay method ensures chemical stability of Atorvastatin lactone during sample preparation by thawing samples in an ice-water bath, centrifuging at 4°C, and adding acetic acid to adjust the pH to approximately 7, minimizing unwanted in-situ hydrolysis.

| Additional Infomation |
Atorvastatin lactone is a metabolite of atorvastatin, a synthetic inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase used to treat hypercholesterolemia. In the context of this paper, it is an important analyte for determining the "total" HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity in human plasma following atorvastatin administration.
The analytical method described is an automated enzyme inhibition assay that measures atorvastatin-derived HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. The "active" inhibitor concentration refers to the inhibitory activity of atorvastatin (acid) and its hydroxy acid metabolites. The "total" inhibitor concentration is measured after base hydrolysis of the plasma sample. This hydrolysis step converts Atorvastatin lactone and the lactones of the hydroxy metabolites back to their corresponding acid forms, which are then capable of inhibiting the enzyme. The difference between the 'total' and 'active' concentrations provides an indication of the concentration of lactone species present in the sample. [1] |
