Product Description

Boceprevir (previously known as EBP 520; SCH 503034; trade name: Victrelis) is a novel, orally bioavailable, selective, direct acting inhibitor of hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease with Ki value of 14 nM for NS3 in an enzyme assay and EC90 of 350 nM in cell-based replicon assay. It is an FDA approved drug (trade name: Victrelis) used in combination with other antiviral agents for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, genotype 1. It exerts the effects by binding to the nonstructural 3 NS3 (HCV) active site of HCV.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HCV NS3 protease(Ki=14 nM)
ln Vitro
The potency of boceprevir (SCH 503034) in the HCV NS3 protease continuous assay is 14 nM (Ki) on average over a high number of runs. The EC50 and EC90 values in the HuH-7 cells bicistronic subgenomic cell-based replicon assay are found to be 0.20 µM and 0.35 µM, respectively. The assay lasts for 72 hours. Additionally, it is discovered that boceprevir has a selectivity of 2200 and is a very weak inhibitor of HNE (Ki=26 µM)[1].
ln Vivo
An HCV protease inhibitor called boceprevir is used to treat hepatitis C virus infection. Boceprevir's pharmacokinetic profile is assessed in a variety of animal species. After being given orally, rats (10 mg/kg), dogs (3 mg/kg), and monkeys (3 mg/kg) absorb boceprevir moderately. The mean absorption times (MAT) of mice (10 mg/kg), rats, and monkeys show that while absorption is relatively fast in dogs, it is slower in these animals. In dogs and rats, the AUC is good; in mice, it is moderate; and in monkeys, it is low. In mice, rats, and dogs (26-34%), the absolute oral bioavailability is moderate, but in monkeys (4%) it is low[1]. Triple-transgenic mice treated with boceprevir (100 mg/kg) showed reduced HCV NS3/4A protease activity[2].
Animal Protocol
Mice
MedChem Express is the source for boceprevir purchases. Triple-transgenic mice (n = 5 per group) are induced with Doxycycline (Dox) for 10 days in order to assess the impact of Boceprevir. The mice receive oral gavage twice daily for seven days with either Boceprevir (100 mg/kg) or DMSO after plasma Gluc activity peaks on the third day following Dox induction. Every day during this time, blood is drawn from the caudal vein in order to measure plasma Gluc activity.

*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
