Three stable-isotope-labeled forms of atorvastatin, [2H5], [13C8], and [13C7,15N], were synthesized. They were utilized primarily for metabolic mapping and pharmacokinetic studies of bioequivalence. Analytical assays were performed by using LC/MS/MS methodologies. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
