Abacavir (formerly also known as ABC, or 1592U89; trade names: Ziagen; Epzicom) is a commonly used nucleoside analogue of the NRTI class with potent antiviral activity against HIV-1. Abacavir is a widely used antiretroviral medication used to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. It is of the nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) type. Viral strains that are resistant to zidovudine (AZT) or lamivudine (3TC) are generally, but not always, sensitive to abacavir. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.
ln Vitro |
In prostate cancer cell lines, abacavir (15 and 150 μM, 0-120 hours) slows cell growth, modifies LINE-1 mRNA expression, promotes senescence, and changes cell cycle progression [1]. Cell migration is greatly reduced and cell invasion is inhibited by abacavir (15 and 150 μM, 18 hours) [1]. Adipocyte apoptosis is induced by abacavir [4].

ln Vivo |
Dose-dependently, abacavir (100 and 200 mg/kg, PO; 4 hours) increases thrombosis [2]. In mice with high-risk medulloblastoma, abacavir (50 mg/kg/d; intraperitoneal injection; 14 days) and decitabine (0.1 mg/kg/d) can increase survival rates [3].

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.73 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.73 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*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.
