Product Description

Didanosine (also known as 2′,3′-dideoxyinosine, ddI, DDI; trade names Videx and Videx EC) is a potent reverse transcriptase inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.49 μM. It is an antiretroviral drug used to treat HIV/AIDS in combination with other medications as part of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Didanosine is of the reverse transcriptase inhibitor class and is on the WHO World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Cellular enzymes transform didanosine into dideoxyadenosine triphosphate (dd-ATP), a potent antiviral metabolite with an intracellular half-life that ranges from 8 to 24 hours[1]. Didanosine exhibits antiretroviral action against HIV infection, with an IC50 value of 0.24–0.6 mg/L[3]. In IEC-6 cells, didanosine (5, 10, 50, and 100 ug/ml; 24 and 48 hours) does not significantly reduce cell proliferation[2].
ln Vivo
For seven days, mice given didanosine (100, 150 mg/kg; po) have shorter duodenal and jejunal villus[2].
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[2]
Cell Types: IEC-6 cells
Tested Concentrations: 5, 10, 50, 100 ug/ml
Incubation Duration: 24, 48 h
Experimental Results: Did not show any significant inhibition of cell proliferation at either 24 h or 48 h.

Apoptosis Analysis[2]
Cell Types: IEC-6 cells
Tested Concentrations: 100 ug/ml
Incubation Duration: 24 h
Experimental Results: Induced apoptosis with the apoptosis rates of 4.7% to 7.4%.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: 30-40 g, male swiss mice[2]
Doses: 100, 150 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Po; daily for 7 days
Experimental Results: Caused significant reductions in duodenal and in jejunal villus length and Dramatically diminished ileal crypt depth.

*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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
