Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel β-cyclodextrin-fluvastatin conjugates
Drugs that may regulate lipid metabolism and lower cholesterol, such as statins (drugs that reduce de novo cholesterol synthesis) or cyclodextrins (that promote cholesterol removal), are currently investigated as potential therapeutics for neuronal disorders like Alzheimer’s and Niemann Pick type C...

Drugs that may regulate lipid metabolism and lower cholesterol, such as statins (drugs that reduce de novo cholesterol synthesis) or cyclodextrins (that promote cholesterol removal), are currently investigated as potential therapeutics for neuronal disorders like Alzheimer’s and Niemann Pick type C disease. Fluvastatin is a member of the statin class widely used in preventing heart diseases as it lowers cholesterol and other lipids. β-cyclodextrin derivatives can also act as cholesterol scavengers to promote cholesterol efflux from cells to extracellular acceptors.This context has inspired us to synthesize and characterize two new cyclodextrin-fluvastatin conjugates representing the first example of cyclodextrin conjugates of statins.We synthesized 3- and 6-functionalized β-cyclodextrin with fluvastatin through an amide bond.
