Simvastatin with Butylhydroxyanisole (BHA) API is a cholesterol-lowering agent used primarily for the treatment of hyperlipidemia, dyslipidemia, and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Simvastatin belongs to the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) class, which effectively reduces LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and increases HDL cholesterol levels.
The addition of Butylhydroxyanisole (BHA) serves as a stabilizing antioxidant, preventing oxidative degradation of Simvastatin, thereby ensuring long-term stability and potency.
At Bluepill Express, we manufacture and export Simvastatin with BHA Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) under WHO-GMP, ISO 9001:2015, and cGMP-certified standards. Our API meets USP, BP, IP, and EP pharmacopeial specifications, guaranteeing high purity, consistent assay value, and excellent stability performance for tablet, capsule, and combination drug formulations.
Therapeutic Applications:
- Management of hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia
- Prevention of coronary heart disease and stroke
- Post-myocardial infarction lipid control therapy
- Adjunct to diet and exercise for cholesterol reduction
- Combination therapy with other lipid-modifying agents
Mechanism of Action:
Simvastatin competitively inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the key enzyme involved in cholesterol biosynthesis in the liver. This inhibition reduces hepatic cholesterol production, increases LDL receptor expression, and enhances uptake of circulating LDL, resulting in lower plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
The inclusion of BHA (Butylhydroxyanisole) prevents oxidative degradation of the statin, maintaining chemical integrity during manufacturing, storage, and formulation.
