| Targets |
Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium has the same molecular target as non‑deuterated rosuvastatin: it inhibits 3‑hydroxy‑3‑methylglutaryl‑coenzyme A (HMG‑CoA) reductase (HMGCR). HMGCR is the rate‑limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, converting HMG‑CoA to mevalonate. By inhibiting HMGCR, rosuvastatin reduces de novo cholesterol synthesis, leading to increased LDL receptor expression and enhanced clearance of LDL‑cholesterol from the circulation. The deuterium label does not alter the pharmacological activity, and the compound is not used for activity studies; it is an analytical internal standard.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium has no intrinsic biological activity distinct from rosuvastatin. As a stable isotope‑labeled internal standard, it is not used in activity assays. Non‑deuterated rosuvastatin is a potent HMG‑CoA reductase inhibitor with an IC₅0 in the low nanomolar range, used clinically to lower LDL‑cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk. The d6 label does not affect the compound's activity, but the labeled version is not intended for pharmacological evaluation.
|
| ln Vivo |
No in vivo activity data for Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium are reported, as it is an analytical standard. Unlabeled rosuvastatin is an FDA‑approved medication (Crestor®) for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and prevention of cardiovascular events. Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium is used as an internal standard in pharmacokinetic studies to quantify unlabeled rosuvastatin in animal plasma and tissues. It is not administered to animals for therapeutic purposes.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium is not evaluated in enzyme/receptor binding assays. As an analytical standard, its properties are characterized by chemical methods: HPLC (purity ≥98%), LC‑MS (to confirm isotopic enrichment ≥95% D), and NMR. The compound is used to spike into biological samples for the quantification of unlabeled rosuvastatin. No bioactivity assays are performed.
|
| Cell Assay |
No cellular experiments are performed on Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium. For analytical studies, cells are cultured and treated with unlabeled rosuvastatin, and a known amount of Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium is added to the cell lysate or culture supernatant as an internal standard. Rosuvastatin is extracted (e.g., by protein precipitation with acetonitrile or methanol) and quantified by LC‑MS/MS using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The ratio of the peak area of unlabeled rosuvastatin to deuterated internal standard is used to calculate the concentration.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No animal experiments are performed directly on Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium. For pharmacokinetic studies, unlabeled rosuvastatin is administered to animals (e.g., rats or mice) by oral gavage or intravenous injection. Blood samples are collected at various time points (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 h). A known amount of Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium is added to each plasma sample as an internal standard. Rosuvastatin is extracted, and the concentration in each sample is quantified by LC‑MS/MS. The pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, Tmax, AUC, t½, clearance, oral bioavailability) for rosuvastatin are then calculated.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium (C22H21D₆FN3O₆S·½Ca, MW = 506.61, purity ≥98.5% by HPLC, isotopic enrichment ≥95% D, CAS 1279031‑70‑7) is a white to off‑white solid powder. For storage, the powder should be kept at 4degC for up to 3 years, sealed, and protected from light and moisture. For in vitro use, stock solutions in DMSO or methanol (1‑10 mg/mL) can be prepared and stored at -20degC for up to 1 month or at -80degC for up to 6 months, sealed and protected from moisture. For analytical use, working solutions are typically prepared fresh. The compound is stable under these conditions for extended periods. No PK data are generated for the labeled compound itself.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data for Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium are reported. Rosuvastatin (non‑deuterated) is a widely prescribed medication with a well‑established safety profile. Common adverse effects include myalgia, elevated liver enzymes, and, rarely, rhabdomyolysis. The deuterated version is used at trace concentrations (ng/mL to microg/mL) as an internal standard and is not administered as a test article. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling chemicals should be followed.

| Additional Infomation |
Rosuvastatin-d6 calcium is a stable isotope‑labeled internal standard for the quantification of rosuvastatin in biological samples by LC‑MS/MS. Rosuvastatin is a potent, competitive inhibitor of HMG‑CoA reductase, belonging to the statin class of lipid‑lowering agents. It is indicated for the treatment of dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, and the prevention of cardiovascular events. Rosuvastatin is the active ingredient in the branded drug Crestor®. The d6 label (six deuterium atoms, typically on the isopropyl group of the rosuvastatin molecule) provides a mass shift of +6 Da for mass spectrometry analysis, allowing accurate quantification of the parent drug in the presence of its metabolites and endogenous compounds. This product is for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary consumption.
