| Abstract | To characterize the pharmacokinetics of simvastatin (SV) and simvastatin acid (SVA), a lactone–acid pair known to undergo reversible metabolism, and to better understand mechanisms underlying pharmacokinetic interactions observed between SV and gemfibrozil.Pharmacokinetic studies were conducted after intravenous administration of SV and SVA to dogs pretreated with a vehicle or gemfibrozil. In vitro metabolism of SVA in dog hepatocytes as well as in vitro hepatic and plasma conversion of SV/SVA were investigated in the absence and presence of gemfibrozil.In control animals, the irreversible elimination clearances of SV (CL$_{10}$) and SVA (CL$_{20}$) were 10.5 and 18.6 ml min$^{−1}$ kg$^{−1}$, respectively. The formation clearance of SVA from SV (CL$_{12}$ = 4.8 ml min$^{−1}$ kg$^{−1}$) was 8-fold greater than that of SV from SVA (CL$_{21}$ = 0.6 ml min$^{−1}$ kg$^{−1}$), and the recycled fraction was relatively minor (0.009). In gemfibrozil-treated animals, CL$_{10}$ was essentially unchanged, whereas CL$_{12}$, CL$_{20}$, CL$_{21}$, and recycled fraction were significantly decreased to 2.9, 9, 0.14 ml min$^{−1}$ kg$^{−1}$, and 0.003, respectively. In control dogs, values for real volume of distribution at steady state (V$_{ss,real}$) of SV (2.3 L kg$^{−1}$) were much larger than the corresponding values of SVA (0.3 L kg$^{−1}$). Gemfibrozil treatment did not affect V$_{ss,real}$ of either SV or SVA. In dog hepatocytes, gemfibrozil modestly affected the formation of CYP3A-mediated oxidative metabolites (IC$_{50}$ > 200 μM) and β-oxidative products (IC$_{50}$ ∼100 μM), but markedly inhibited the glucuronidation-mediated lactonization of SVA and the glucuronidation of an SVA β-oxidation product (IC$_{50}$ = 18 μM). In in vitro dog and human liver S9 and plasma, hydrolysis of SV to SVA was much faster than that of SVA to SV. Gemfibrozil (250 μM) had a minimal inhibitory effect on the hydrolysis of either SV to SVA or SVA to SV in dog and human liver S9, but had a significant (∼60%) inhibitory effect on the SV to SVA hydrolysis in both dog and human plasma.In dogs, the interconversion process favored the formation of SVA and was less efficient than the irreversible elimination processes of SV and SVA. Treatment with gemfibrozil did not affect the distribution of SV/SVA, but rather affected the elimination of SVA and the SV/SVA interconversion processes. Gemfibrozil decreased CL$_{20}$ and CL$_{21}$ likely via its inhibitory effect on the glucuronidation of SVA, and not on the CYP3A-mediated oxidative metabolism of SV or SVA, the β-oxidation of SVA, nor the SVA to SV hydrolysis. The decrease in CL$_{12}$ might be due in part to the inhibitory effect of gemfibrozil on SV to SVA hydrolysis in plasma. Similar rationales may also be applicable to studies in humans and/or other statin lactone–acid pairs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
