Rosuvastatin calcium is commonly used statin for treatment of dyslipidemia. It has low bioavailability. The aim of this study was to develop new rosuvastatin calcium self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) as an alternative formulation and to evaluate the permeability of rosuvastatin calcium SEDDS by using Caco-2 cells. Rosuvastatin calcium SEDDSs were developed by using pseudo ternary phase diagram and characterized by using heating cooling cycle, robustness to dilution, stability and in vitro drug release and permeability. The permeability studies of rosuvastatin calcium SEDDS (Papp (A→B) for F1-RS=1.492×10-5±0.413×10-5 and Papp (A→B) for F2-RS=1.254×10-5±0.19×10-5) across Caco-2 cells showed that permeability value from apical to basolateral was higher than permeability value of commercial formulation (Papp (A→B) =7.13×10-5±0.668×10-5). In conclusion, SEDDS as a drug carrier may be used as an effective and alternative hyperlipidemia therapy for oral delivery of rosuvastatin calcium.

Liver cancer is a prevalent form of carcinoma worldwide. A novel chitosan-coated optimized formulation capped with irradiated silver nanoparticles (INops) was fabricated to boost the anti-malignant impact of rosuvastatin calcium (RC). Using a 2-factorial design, eight formulations were produced using the solvent evaporation process.

Background/objectives: The gold standard in the non-surgical treatment of periodontitis is scaling and root planning (SRP). In recent years, studies have emerged suggesting additional clinical benefits from the use of statins as an adjunct to classical periodontal disease treatment. The aim of the present study was to review the relevant literature relating to the subgingival use of statins as an adjunctive treatment to the classical, non-surgical treatment of periodontitis, with a particular focus on groups with general factors that may affect the outcome of treatment.

The study evaluated the anti-hyperlipidemic effects of myrcenol and curzerene on a high fat diet induced hyperlipidemia rat model. Thirty male albino rats were fed on a high-fat diet for four months. The HFD-induced hyperperlipidemia rats were treated with rosuvastatin (10 mg/kg), curzerene (130 mg/kg) and myrcenol (100 mg/kg) for four weeks.

Despite its overall safety profile, the drug is not without side effects. Statin-induced myopathy, a known complication, can manifest in 10-25% of cases, while more uncommon complications such as rhabdomyolysis occur in less than 0.

Statins are the primary drugs used to prevent cardiovascular disease by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme crucial for the synthesis of LDL cholesterol in the liver. A significant number of patients experience adverse drug reactions (ADRs), particularly musculoskeletal problems, which can affect adherence to treatment. Recent clinical guidelines, such as those from the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) in 2022, recommend adjusting rosuvastatin doses based on genetic variations in the and genes to minimize ADRs and improve treatment efficacy.
