Product Description

Elbasvir (formerly known as MK-8742; MK8742; trade name Zepatier) is a potent NS5A (nonstructural protein 5A) inhibitor with anti-HCV (hepatitis C virus) activities against different HCV genotypes.It was being developed to be a part of combination treatment regimens for chronic HCV infection that included the NS3/4A protease inhibitor grazoprevir (either with or without ribavirin). 48 noncirrhotic adult men with chronic genotype 1 or 3 infections were randomized to receive either a placebo or elbasvir at doses of 5 to 50 mg (genotype 1) or 10 to 100 mg (genotype 3) once daily for five days. The purpose of the phase 1b dose-escalating study was to evaluate the virologic responses of the men. In vitro, resistance-associated variants (RAVs) were suppressed in a dose-dependent manner by elbasvir. The majority of the time, loci 30, 31, and 93 were involved in the selection of variants that conferred high-level elbasvir resistance. These variants were selected by encoding multiple amino acid substitutions. Patients with genotype 1b showed higher reductions in HCV RNA levels in the monotherapy study compared to patients with genotype 1a at all elbasvir doses; generally, responses in patients with genotype 3 were less marked than in those with genotype 1, especially at lower elbasvir doses. Elbasvir monotherapy selected the predominant RAVs that were identified as M28T, Q30R, L31V, and Y93H in genotype 1a, L31V and Y93H in genotype 1b, and A30K, L31F, and Y93H in genotype 3. Preclinical observations and patient virologic results were in agreement. The amino acid positions 28, 30, 31, and 93 are where NS5A-RAVs most frequently appeared in the laboratory and clinical trial. (The MK-8742 P002 trial has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT01532973.).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HCV 1a (EC50 = 4 nM); HCV 1b (EC50 = 3 nM); HCV 2a (EC50 = 3 nM)
ln Vitro
Elbasvir exhibits strong activity against the 1a and 1b genotype replicons, as evidenced by its EC90 of 0.006 nM for the 1a_H77 wild-type and 1b_con1 replicons. With an EC90 of 0.12 nM, elasvir inhibits genotype 3 replicons. The decreases in colony counts at higher doses of elbasvir (0.06 nM, 0.6 nM, and 6 nM) show dose-dependent suppression of resistant genotype 1a replicons. With EC50s in the low-picomolar range, elbasvir exhibits high potency against HCV replicons carrying NS5A sequences from GT1a, -1b, -2a(31L), -3a, -4a, -5a, and -6.
ln Vivo

Enzyme Assay
Elbasvir is an HCV NS5A inhibitor that, depending on genotype, has a median EC50 value ranging from 0.2 to 3600 pmol/L. It inhibits the replication of the hepatitis C virus and the assembly of virion.
Cell Assay
Elbasvir (formerly known as MK-8742; MK8742; trade name Zepatier) is a potent inhibitor of nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) that exhibits anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) properties against various HCV genotypes.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: >100mg/mL(~113.4 mM)
Water: <1mg/mL
Ethanol: <1mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.83 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 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.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

5 mM 0.2268 mL 1.1338 mL 2.2675 mL
10 mM 0.1134 mL 0.5669 mL 1.1338 mL

*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

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.
