The drug showed significant degradation under hydrolysis(acidic, alkaline) and oxidation(peroxide stress) conditions. The drug remained stable under thermal and photolytic stress conditions. In total, seven novel degradation products(DP-1 to DP-7) were found under diverse conditions, which were not reported earlier. The chemical structures of these degradation products were characterized by ~1H NMR,^(13)C NMR, 2 D NMR, Q-TOF-MSnand IR spectral analysis and the proposed degradation products structures were further confirmed by the individual synthesis.展开更多

The transformations of mevinolin in acidic alcohol（ such as ethanol, methanol and isopropanol） solutions caused by solvent effects were revealed in the present article. The solvates, that is, mevinolinic methyl ester, mevinolinic ethyl ester and mevinolinic isopropyl ester, were identified by LC/PDA and LC/MS. The kinetics parameters of the transformations caused by solvent effects, such as the observed rate constant of mevinolin （kobs）, the maximum concentration（ Cmax ）, and its corresponding maximum time（ t time for the acid form to reach the maximum concentration） of mevinolinic acid, are discussed. The influencing factors, such as the kind of solvents, the acidic concentration, the initial mevinolin concentration, and the water content as well as temperature were investigated. Two kinds of comparative reactions, hydrolysis and alcoholysis, of mevinolin in solution were studied. This detailed study on the kinetics of mevinolin transformations is valuable and meaningful for the purification, preparation, injection manufacturing, extraction, storage, etc. , of mevinolin or other similar compounds. This work provides useful information for the quality control of mevinolin and mevinolin-like drugs as well.展开更多
