Product Description

Letermovir (formerly MK-8828; MK8828; AIC-246; AIC246; trade name: Prevymis) is a potent anti-cytomegalovirus (CMV) / antiviral drug approved on 11/8/2017 by FDA to prevent infection after bone marrow transplant. It acts by targeting the pUL56 (amino acid 230-370) subunit of the viral terminase complex and remaining active against virus resistant to DNA polymerase inhibitors. Letermovir has been tested in CMV infected patients with allogeneic stem cell transplants and may also be useful for other patients with a compromised immune system such as those with organ transplants or HIV infections.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Letermovir (formerly known as MK-8828 and AIC-246; trade name: Prevymis) is a new potent anticytomegalovirus drug in clinical development. On 11/8/2017, Letermovir was approved by FDA to prevent infection after bone marrow transplant. Despite modern prevention and treatment strategies, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) remains a common opportunistic pathogen associated with serious morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised individuals, such as transplant recipients and AIDS patients. All drugs currently licensed for the treatment of HCMV infection target the viral DNA polymerase and are associated with severe toxicity issues and the emergence of drug resistance.
ln Vivo
Letermovir (10-100 mg/kg/day, p.o.) leads to a dose-dependent reduction of the HCMV titer in transplanted cells compared to that of the placebo-treated control group using the mouse xenograft model
Enzyme Assay
AIC246 has consistent antiviral efficacy, and there is remarkable selectivity of AIC246 for human cytomegaloviruses. AD169 mutant strains and designated rAIC246-1 and rAIC246-2 are highly resistant to Letermovir (AIC246), with EC50s of 5.6 nM, 1.24 μM, 0.37 μM, respectively. Letermovir inhibits HCMV replication through a specific antiviral mechanism that involves the viral gene product UL56. Letermovir inhibits HCMV replication in cell culture by interfering with the proper cleavage/packaging of HCMV progeny DNA[2]. Letermovir inhibits the current gold standard GCV by more than 400-fold with respect to EC50s (mean, 4.5 nM versus 2 μM) and by more than 2,000-fold with respect to EC90 values (mean, 6.1 nM versus 14.5 μM)[3]. Letermovir in conbination with anti-HCMV drugs causes additive antiviral effects, but there is no interaction between letermovir and anti-HIV drugs.
Cell Assay
Briefly, 5×103 AD169-infected NHDF cells/well are seeded into the wells of 30 96-well microtiter plates. The infection is allowed to proceed under the exposure of 50 nM AIC246 (10×EC50) until a CPE developed in one or more of the compound-treated wells (indicative of resistant virus breakthrough). Noninfected and nontreated cells serve as controls on each plate. Mutant virus amplification is accomplwashed after cultures achieved maximum CPE by the passage of cell-free supernatant virus in the presence of 50 nM AIC246. The resultant AIC246-resistant progeny virus mutants are plaque purified three times by limiting dilutions in the presence of AIC246. The stability of resistance is tested by serially passaging plaque-purified viruses without selective pressure (8 to 10 times).

*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.

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
