Product Description

Efavirenz (also called Sustiva, Stocrin, DMP-266, DMP 266), a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), is a highly potent and specific inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase with Ki value of 2.93nM. Efavirenz was approved by the FDA in 1998. It is usually used in a combination therapy with other antiretroviral drugs. Efavirenz is a potent inhibitor of both wild-type HIV-1 RT and HIV-1 variants which express series of NNRTI resistance-associated amino acid substitutions.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
It is discovered that efavirenz (L-743726) may suppress a panel of mutant viruses resistant to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) that express a single RT amino acid substitution, with 95% inhibitory doses of ≤ 1.5μM. When efavirenz is examined for its ability to inhibit different polymerase enzymes, it is discovered that it lacks activity (IC50>300μM). Several wild-type T-lymphoid cell line-adapted variations are efficiently inhibited by efavirenz. In primary lymphoid and monocytoid cell cultures, wild-type primary isolates of the virus exhibit the same activity (IC95, 1.5 to 3.0 nM). Furthermore, HIV-1 genotypes that contain RT amino acid changes, which confer resistance to other NNRTIs, are effectively inhibited by efavirenz. for comparative purposes [1]. With an IC50 of 60 nM, efavirenz is a non-nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)[2]. With an IC50 of 17 nM, efavirenz inhibits synthesis utilizing an RNA PPT-primed substrate[3].
ln Vivo
Efavirenz (L-743726) is eliminated from rats quickly after intravenous injection, but it is eliminated from monkeys much more slowly. In both species, the large volume of distribution (two to four times the body water content) suggests extensive tissue binding. Rats have a 16% oral bioavailability. After giving an intravenous dose of 1 mg/kg of Efavirenz, the half-life in monkeys was more than 2.5 hours. Orally, efavirenz is well absorbed. Plasma levels are consistently high when oral doses administered as fine suspensions in 0.5% aqueous methylcellulose are given to monkeys. Approximately 3.0 hours after a dose of 2.0 mg/kg, peak levels of 0.5μM are achieved. According to estimates, the absolute bioavailability is 42%. A plasma peak level of 3.22 μM is obtained with a dose of 10 mg/kg. One chimpanzee received an oral dose of 10 mg/kg, which resulted in plasma concentrations of 4.12, 2.95, and 2.69 μM at 2, 8, and 24 hours after dosing, respectively[1].

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
