Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic fate of pitavastatin, a new inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase: human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes involved in lactonization.

TL;DR: The mechanism of pitavastatin lactone formation has been clarified, in that glucuronidation by UGT occurs first followed by lactonization via an elimination reaction, and it was found that pitavastsatin lact one demonstrates no drug-drug interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamin-Related Protein 1 Inhibition Attenuates Cardiovascular Calcification in the Presence of Oxidative Stress.

TL;DR: A new function of DRP1 is demonstrated in regulating collagen secretion and cardiovascular calcification, a novel area of exploration for the potential development of new therapies to modify cellular fibrocalcific response in cardiovascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Total Synthesis of Spicamycin

TL;DR: The proposed unique structure of a novel nucleoside antibiotic is confirmed, and the first total synthesis of one of the spicamycin congeners, SPM VIII, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies on the Metabolic Fate of NK-104, a New Inhibitor of HMG-CoA Reductase (5) : In Vitro Metabolism and Plasma Protein Binding in Animals and Human

TL;DR: CYP2C9 and CYP2C8 are the enzymes responsible for the metabolism of NK-104, and no inhibitory effect on CYP mediated 4-hydroxylation of tolbutamide in the presence ofNK-104 was detected.
