Simvastatin is one of the most frequently prescribed statins because of its efficacy in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, reducing cardiovascular risk and related mortality. Determination of its side effects on different tissues is mandatory to improve safe use of this drug. In the present study, the effects of simvastatin on molecular composition and structure of healthy rat livers were investigated by Fourier transform infrared and Raman imaging. Simvastatin-treated groups received 50 mg/kg/day simvastatin for 30 days. The ratio of the area and/or intensity of the bands assigned to lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids were calculated to get information about the drug-induced changes in tissues. Loss of unsaturation, accumulation of end products of lipid peroxidation, and alterations in lipid-to-protein ratio were observed in the treated group. Protein secondary structure studies revealed significant decrease in alpha-helix and increase in random coil, while native beta-sheet decreases and aggregated beta-sheet increases in treated group implying simvastatin-induced protein denaturation. Moreover, groups were successfully discriminated using principal component analysis. Consequently, high-dose simvastatin treatment induces hepatic lipid peroxidation and changes in molecular content and protein secondary structure, implying the risk of liver disorders in drug therapy.

Structural alterations in rat liver proteins due to streptozotocin-induced diabetes and the recovery effect of selenium: Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy and neural network study
Bozkurt, Ozlem; Bayari, Sevgi Haman; Severcan, Mete; Krafft, Christoph; Popp, Juergen; Severcan, Feride (2012-07-01)
The relation between protein structural alterations and tissue dysfunction is a major concern as protein fibrillation and/or aggregation due to structural alterations has been reported in many disease states. In the current study, Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopic imaging has been used to investigate diabetes-induced changes on protein secondary structure and macromolecular content in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat liver. Protein secondary structural alterations were predicted using neural ...
Structural and functional characterization of simvastatin-induced myotoxicity in different skeletal muscles

Background: Statins are the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Their most frequent side effect is myotoxicity. To date, it remains unclear whether statins preferentially induce myotoxicity in fast- or in slow-twitch muscles. Therefore, we investigated these effects on fast- (extensor digitorum longus; EDL), slow- (soleus; SOL), and mixed-twitch muscles (diaphragm; DIA) in rats by comparing their contractile and molecular structural properties.

Banerjee, Sreeparna(2010-12-31)
Long term regular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been correlated with reduced risk of variety of cancers. Celecoxib is a new generation NSAID that can selectively inhibit activity of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) Celecoxib serves as a chemopreventive agent in colorectal cancer. Therefore there is growing interest in developing drug delivery systems for celecoxib, Targeting will be carried out by conjugation of a chimeric monoclonal antibody (Cetuximab) against the Epidermal Growth Fac...

Statins are commonly used to control hypercholesterolemia and to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Among the statins, Simvastatin is one of the most frequently prescribed statins because of its efficacy in reducing LDL lipoprotein cholesterol levels, its tolerability, and its reduction of cardiovascular risk and mortality. Conflicting results have been reported with regard to benefits (pleiotropic effects) as well as risks (adverse effects) of simvastatin on different soft and hard tissues. In the current st...

Long term regular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been correlated with reduced risk of variety of cancers. Celecoxib is a new generation NSAID that can selectively inhibit activity of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme in prostaglandin production pathway The anticarcinogenic effects of Celecoxib are not solely due to the inhibition of COX-2. COX-2 independent effects observed in vitro can be summarized as inhibition of cell cycle progression, induction of apoptosis, and inhibition of ...
