A selected ion monitoring method for quantifying simvastatin and its acid form in human plasma, using the ferroceneboronate derivative

Abstract: Simvastatin, a pro-drug lactone, forms the open carboxylic acid as a major metabolite that inhibits the activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase. Simvastatin and the acid in plasma were quantified by a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/selected ion monitoring (GC/MS/SIM) method. These drugs were separated by solid-phase extraction and independently converted into a 1,3-diol-type compound. This compound reacted with ferroceneboronic acid to yield the cyclic boronate that gave satisfactory … Show more

“…Recently, numerous methods for analysis of simvastatin and its metabolites determination in human plasma by HPLC methods with difference detectors (ultraviolet, fluorescence and mass spectrometry) have been published [4][5][6][7][8][9]. In addition, some methods of gas chromatography with mass spectrometry for determination of simvastatin and its metabolites have also been published [10][11]. However, most of these methods are tedious and time consuming, which also considered costly for routine analysis work.…”

“…Two GC-MS methods have been reported for quantitation of SV and simvastatin acid (SVA) with (Takano et al, 1990) or without derivatization (Morris et al, 1993;Cai et al, 1999). Several HPLC methods with UV (Carlcucci et al, 1992;Tan et al, 2000) or fluorescence (Ochiai et al, 1997) detection were also reported.…”
