Product Description

Amenamevir (formerly ASP2151; ASP-2151) is a HSV (herpes simplex virus) helicase-primase inhibitor with potent antiviral activity against HSVs with EC50 of 14 ng/mL. It an antiviral drug used for the treatment of shingles, acting as an inhibitor of the zoster virus's helicase–primase complex. Amenamevir was approved in Japan for the treatment of shingles in 2017. Amenamevir a novel class of antiviral agent other than nucleoside compounds, such as aciclovir, valaciclovir and famciclovir. Amenamevir 400 and 200 mg were well tolerated as well as valaciclovir. The proportions of patients who experienced drug-related adverse events were 10.0% (25/249), 10.7% (27/252) and 12.0% (30/249) with amenamevir 400 and 200 mg and valaciclovir, respectively. In conclusion, amenamevir 400 mg appears to be effective and well tolerated for treatment of herpes zoster in immunocompetent Japanese patients.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HSV-1(IC50=7.7-20 ng/mL);HSV-2(IC50=15-58 ng/mL)
ln Vitro
Amenamevir (ASP2151) prevents the replication of both laboratory-stocked HSV strains and strains isolated in the US and Japan. Acyclovir (ACV) has mean EC50s against HSV-1 and HSV-2 of 29 (range, 18 to 38) and 71 ng/mL (range, 45 to 95), respectively, while amenamevir's mean EC50s against HSV-1 and HSV-2 are 14 (range, 7.7 to 20) and 30 ng/mL (range, 15 to 58), respectively. Compared to ACV, Amenamevir's EC50s against HSV strains are noticeably lower[1].
ln Vivo
The administration of amenamevir (ASP2151) in the dose-dependent range of 3 to 30 mg/kg/day accelerates the reduction in virus titer. Regardless of the dosing interval, amenamevir treatment reduces lesion scores and HSV-1 titers in a dose-dependent manner. The PK parameters at which oral administration of Amenamevir completely suppresses HSV-1 growth are estimated based on the correlation curves. These parameters are 10,000 ng/mL or higher for the maximum concentration of drug in serum (Cmax), 60 μg • h/ml or higher for concentration-time curve over 24 h (AUC24h), and 21 to 24 h for T>100. Five days after infection, the mean plasma concentration of Amenamevir rises in a dose-dependent manner; doses of 3 mg Amenamevir/g or more markedly lower the intradermal HSV-1 titer[1].
Cell Assay
Plaque reduction assay is used to evaluate the antiviral efficacy of Amenamevir (ASP2151) and ACV against HSVs. In a nutshell, HEF cells are cultivated in multiwell plates and allowed to grow into a monolayer. Following the removal of the medium, HSV-1 or HSV-2 is added to the cells, and the plates are then incubated for an additional hour at 37°C. After twice washing the cells in maintenance medium, the test compound—which includes amenamevir—is applied to the cells until clear plaques start to form.After staining the cells with 0.02% crystal violet solution and fixing them with 10% formalin in phosphate-buffered saline, the number of plaques is counted under a light microscope. Using a sigmoid-maximum effect (Emax) model in nonlinear regression analysis, the EC50, or the concentration of test compound required to reduce the plaque number by 50%, is determined[1].
Animal Protocol
Female hairless mice (HOS:HR-1, 7 to 8 weeks old) are infected in the dorsolateral skin stripped as a small square using a needle under anesthesia with a suspension of HSV-1 strains WT51 (15 μL/mouse; titer, 2×108 PFU/mL) or CI-116 (15 μL/mouse; titer, 4×107 PFU/mL). Day zero postinfection is the day of HSV-1 infection. HSV-1-infected mice (n=5) are given oral doses of 1, 3, 10, 30, or 100 mg/kg/day of ASP2151 for a duration of 5 days. Treatments with amenamevir (ASP2151) begin two to three hours after HSV infection. The medication is taken once daily (every 24 hours, q24h), twice a day (every 12 hours, q12h), or three times a day (every 8 hours, q8h). On day five after infection, lesion scores and intradermal HSV-1 titers are measured[1].

  • 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)
