Product Description

Lopinavir (formerly known as ABT-378; trade names Kaletra; Aluvia), an FDA approved antiretroviral drug in 2000 for HIV treatment, is a highly potent HIV protease inhibitor with Ki of 1.3 pM in a cell-free assay. Lopinavir is an analog of ritonavir intended to have less interaction with HIV protease's Val82. With a 50% effective concentration and an EC50 value less than 0.06 μM, it continues to have high potency in inhibiting the Val82 mutant HIV that was chosen using ritonavir. While human serum significantly reduces the antiviral activity of ritonavir, lopinavir is less affected by human serum proteins and remains 10-fold more potent than ritonavir when human serum is present. Marketed under the trade names Kaletra and Aluvia, lopinavir is used in a fixed-dose combination with another protease inhibitor, Ritonavir, to treat HIV infections.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HIV protease (Ki = 1.3 pM)
ln Vitro
Lopinavir has a Ki of 4.9 pM, 3.7 pM, and 3.6 pM for each of the mutant HIV proteases (V82A, V82F, and V82T). 93% of wild-type HIV protease activity is inhibited by lopinavir at 0.5 nM. With an EC50 of 17 nM and 102 nM, respectively, lopinavir inhibits HIV protease activity in MT4 cells both in the presence and absence of 50% HS. The conversion of lopinavir to multiple metabolites, namely M-3 and M-4, occurs in a manner that is dependent on NADPH in liver microsomes. Lopinavir, with an IC50 of 1.7 mM, is a strong inhibitor of Rh123 efflux in Caco-2 monolayers. In LS 180V cells, exposure tolopinavir for 72 hours lowers the amount of intracellular Rh123. In LS 180V cells, lopinavir increases the levels of messenger RNA and P-glycoprotein immunoreactive protein. [3] With an IC50 of 9.4 nM, lopinavir inhibits subtype C clone C6. [4] In human liver microsomes, lopinavir inhibits CYP3A with an IC50 of 7.3 mM, but it barely inhibits human CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19, and 2D6. [5]
ln Vivo
Lopinavir (10 mg/kg, orally) has an oral bioavailability of 25% and a Cmax of 0.8 μg/mL in rats.[1]
Enzyme Assay
Lopinavir is a potent inhibitor of HIV protease, with a Ki of 1.3 pM. Phospholipid HIV IC50 of 1.7 mM indicates thatlopinavir is a strong inhibitor of Rh123 efflux in Caco-2 monolayers.
Cell Assay
In LS 180V cells, lopinavir exposure (72 hours) lowers the amount of intracellular Rh123. In LS 180V cells, lopinavir increases the levels of messenger RNA and P-glycoprotein immunoreactive protein. With an IC50 of 9.4 nM, lopinavir inhibits subtype C clone C6. In human liver microsomes, lopinavir inhibits CYP3A with an IC50 of 7.3 mM, but it barely inhibits human CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19, and 2D6.
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in ethanol-propylene glycol-D5W;10 mg/kg; p.o.
Sprague-Dawley-derived rats or cynomolgus monkeys

*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
