drug efficacyPretreatment with geranylgeraniol partly reversed the inhibitory effect of simvastatin on LY83583‑induced CyPA secretion in cultured VSMCs (in vitro).65%28983618
pathway membershipSimvastatin neuroprotection may be related to a variety of signaling pathways including Rho-kinase (ROCK).65%20493175
drug efficacySimvastatin treatment (20mg/kg, bolus subcutaneous injection) significantly improved clinical function (rabbit model).65%20493175
drug efficacyGGTI‑298 and KD025 [a selective Rho‑associated protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) inhibitor] mimicked the inhibitory effect of simvastatin on CyPA secretion in cultured VSMCs (in vitro).59%28983618
drug efficacySimvastatin treatment (20mg/kg, bolus subcutaneous injection) increased the P(50) by 143% when administered 1 hour following embolization (rabbit model).59%20493175
drug targetFasudil and simvastatin effectively inhibited 3-NP-induced behavioral, biochemical, and histological changes through inhibition of ROCK activity (in rat model).59%26169112
pathway membershipThe present study highlights a significant role of ROCK/p-Akt/eNOS pathway in the protective effects of fasudil and simvastatin on neurotoxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by 3-NP (in rat model).59%26169112
pathway membershipThe present study highlights a significant role of ROCK/p-Akt/eNOS pathway in the protective effects of fasudil and simvastatin on mitochondrial dysfunction induced by 3-NP (in rat model).59%26169112
protein interactionThere may be an interaction between simvastatin treatment and the ROCK signaling pathway (rabbit model).59%20493175
drug targetSimvastatin, which inhibits RhoA, inhibits ROCK activity in Th17 cells (in vitro).59%28283529
drug efficacySimvastatin could be safely administered with tPA to improve clinical scores (rabbit model).53%20493175
drug efficacySimvastatin may inhibit reactive oxygen species‑induced cyclophilin A (CyPA) release from vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) (in vitro).53%28983618
drug efficacyFasudil and simvastatin effectively inhibited 3-NP-induced histological changes (in rat model).53%26169112
drug efficacyFasudil and simvastatin effectively inhibited 3-NP-induced behavioral changes (in rat model).53%26169112
drug efficacyFasudil and simvastatin effectively inhibited 3-NP-induced biochemical changes (in rat model).53%26169112
drug efficacyVSMCs from simvastatin‑treated rats secreted a decreased amount of CyPA compared with VSMCs from hypertensive rats (mouse model).53%28983618
drug efficacyWhen fasudil was administered 30 minutes before simvastatin (given at 1 hour), there was an additional significant (p=0.0217) synergistic increase in behavioral function (rabbit model).51%20493175
drug efficacySimvastatin administration for 4, 8 and 12 weeks diminished the increased expression of CD147, phosphorylated‑ERK1/2, cyclin D1, cyclin A, and cyclin E, as observed in the hypertensive group (mouse model).51%28983618
drug efficacySimvastatin decreases IL-17 and IL-21 production by purified SLE T cells or Th17 cells (in vitro).45%28283529
