Description

Carboxylate form of Simvastatin (Cat. No. 567020) that is active in whole cells and in cell-free assays. A lipophilic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor that blocks Ras function through inhibition of farnesylation. Also inhibits glucose-induced Ca2+-signaling and insulin secretion by blocking L-type Ca2+ channels in rat islet &beta,-cells. Inhibits cell proliferation of human smooth muscle cells. The solid form of Simvastatin, Sodium Salt (Cat. No. 567021) is also available., Carboxylate form of Simvastatin (Cat. No. 567020) that is active in whole cells and in cell-free assays.
