Background: Statins are widely prescribed lipid-lowering agents, but their use can be limited by skeletal muscle toxicity ranging from myalgia to severe myopathy. Oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and impaired autophagy are implicated in statin-associated muscle injury. Salidroside (a Rhodiola rosea phenolic glycoside) shows antioxidant and mitochondrial protective activity, while Trichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, may modulate autophagy and apoptosis—suggesting potential synergy as an adjunct strategy. Objective: To evaluate the protective potential of Salidroside and TSA (alone and in combination) against simvastatin-induced myopathy using (i) in vivo functional and biochemical assessment with histology, and (ii) in vitro C2C12 cell-line assays. Methods: Male Wistar rats (200–250 g) were randomized into treatment groups including simvastatin (80 mg/kg p.o.) and adjunct Salidroside (50 mg/kg i.p.) and/or TSA (0.6 mg/kg i.p.) for 15 days. Functional tests (rota-rod, open-field, righting reflex), serum CK/LDH, and H&E-based muscle histology grading were planned. In vitro, C2C12 myoblast viability was assessed by trypan blue counting, morphology, and MTT assay. Expected outcomes: Simvastatin is expected to elevate CK/LDH and worsen motor performance with degenerative histological changes; adjunct Salidroside and TSA are expected to reduce biochemical injury markers and improve histological and cell-viability outcomes. Conclusion: This integrated histology + cell-line design provides a translational framework to test Salidroside and TSA as potential adjunct candidates to mitigate statin-associated myopathy.
