Product Description

Amprenavir (formerly VX-478; trade name Agenerase and Prozei), an FDA approved drug for treating HIV infections, is a potent PXR-selective agonist and an HIV protease inhibitor. Its IC50 value for HIV-1 protease is 0.6 nM, and its IC50 value for HIV-2 protease is 19 nM. It is also said to be an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A4. Patients with primary HIV infection can benefit from the effective treatment of HIV disease with amprenavir. On April 15, 1999, the FDA approved a twice-daily dose for it, as opposed to an eight-hour interval.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PXR; HIV protease (IC50 = 14.6 ng/mL)
ln Vitro
Amprenavir has an enzyme inhibition constant (Ki = 0.6 nM) that is within the other protease inhibitors' Ki range. The in vitro 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of amprenavir against clinical HIV isolates of wild type is 14.6 +/- 12.5 ng/mL (mean +/- SD) [1]. By preventing MMP proteolytic activation, amprenavir directly inhibited the invasion of Huh-7 hepatocarcinoma cell lines [2].
ln Vivo
Amprenavir was able to encourage the remission of hepatocarcinoma growth in vivo through anti-angiogenetic and general anti-tumor activities, through independent pathways related to PI3K/AKT, which is currently one of the more plausible theories to explain the anti-tumor effects of the various protease inhibitors[2]. PXR was effectively activated and PXR target gene expression was induced both in vitro and in vivo by amprenavir. In mice of the wild type, but not in mice lacking PXR, a brief exposure to amprenavir markedly raised the levels of atherogenic low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and plasma total cholesterol [3]. The recommended dosage of amprenavir for adults and children is 1200 mg twice daily for adults, 20 mg/kg twice daily for children under the age of 13, or 15 mg/kg three times daily for adolescents under the weight of 50 kg[1].
Cell Assay
Amprenavir induced the expression of the PXR target gene in LS180 intestinal cells and HepaRG hepatoma cells.
Animal Protocol
10 mg/kg; p.o.
WT and PXR-/- mice

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
