Simvastatin acid-d₆ ammonium  (Synonyms: Tenivastatin-d₆ ammonium)

Simvastatin acid-d₆ (ammonium)mis the deuterium labeled Simvastatin acid ammonium. Simvastatin ammonium is an active metabolite of simvastatin lactone mediated by CYP3A4/5 in the intestinal wall and liver (pKa=5.5). Simvastatin ammonium reduces indoxyl sulfate-mediated reactive oxygen species and modulates OATP3A1 expression in cardiomyocytes and HEK293 cells transfected with the OATP3A1 gene[1].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
