Fluvastatin (XU-62320; Fluindostatin; Lescol XL; XU-62-320; Canef; Lipaxan; Vastin), an approved drug belonging to the statin class of hypolipidemic medications, is a potent inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase activity with potential anti-hyperlipidemic effects. It inhibits HMG-CoA reductase with an IC50 of 8 nM in a cell-free assay. Fluvastatin is used to reduce plasma cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease. It is also the first entirely synthetic HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor and is structurally distinct from the fungal derivatives of this therapeutic class.
ln Vitro |
The enzyme hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), which catalyzes the rate-limiting conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonic acid in cholesterol biosynthesis, is competitively inhibited by fluvastatin sodium (XU 62320). Studies on HCC (human hepatocellular cancer cells) show that fluvastatin causes G2/M phase arrest. HCC cells display less Bcl-2 and procaspase-9 and more Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and cytochrome c when fluvastatin (XU 62320) is present. The antilipemic drug fluvastatin (XU 62320) lowers plasma cholesterol levels and prevents cardiovascular disease.

*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.
Calculation results
Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
