Simvastatin(辛伐他汀,又称为MK-733、Zocor)是一种竞争性HMG-CoA还原酶抑制剂,Ki值为0.12 nM。Simvastatin抑制小鼠L-M cell (成纤维细胞),大鼠H4II E细胞(肝脏),以及人类Hep G2 细胞(肝脏)中胆固醇合成,IC50值分别为19.3 nM,13.3 nM和15.6 nM。Simvastatin显著抑制细胞增殖,诱导细胞周期G1期阻断,诱导细胞凋亡,并具有抗肿瘤转移作用。Simvastatin 激活蛋白激酶Akt,促进其底物eNOS磷酸化,并促进血管再生。Simvastatin也可以抑制TNF诱导的NF-κB活化(IC50 ~ 13 µM)。另外,Simvastatin表现出抗炎症作用。
Simvastatin的商品名称为Zocor,用于降低胆固醇,常与ezetimibe(Zetia)联合使用,用于治疗血脂异常。此外,Simvastatin也可降低高心脏病风险者发病的机会。
