Product Description
Lumicitabine (ALS-008176) is an inhibitor (blocker/antagonist) of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) polymerase.
Lumicitabine is a cytidine nucleoside analog and an inhibitor of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) replication. It is a prodrug that is metabolized to the active triphosphate form, which inhibits the RSV RNA polymerase. The compound was being developed for the treatment of RSV infection.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Lumicitabine targets the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) RNA polymerase. It acts as a chain terminator, inhibiting viral RNA synthesis. The compound is a cytidine nucleoside analog that is phosphorylated to the active triphosphate form.
ln Vitro
Lumicitabine is a cytidine nucleoside analog and an orally accessible prodrug of ALS-008112, a new RSV replication inhibitor [1].
In vitro, lumicitabine inhibits RSV replication in cell culture. The compound shows potent antiviral activity against RSV with low cytotoxicity. It is active against a range of RSV strains.
ln Vivo
Excellent anti-RSV efficacy and safety were shown by lumicitabine in a Phase 2 clinical RSV challenge investigation. It has a high body level of 2c-TP and strong oral absorption. In addition to simulating stomach and intestinal fluids (half-life >2 hours), lumicitabine has exceptional formulation stability (storage stability in 0.5% methylcellulose aqueous formulation at room temperature >24 hours). It can be taken orally in solutions and aqueous suspensions containing comparatively small amounts of organic solvents due to its considerable solubility. Oral Lumicitabine treatment results in high amounts of NMP and NTP in monkeys[2]. In an adult challenge investigation, lumicitabine showed effectiveness against RSV infection [1].
In vivo, lumicitabine has been studied in animal models of RSV infection. It shows efficacy in reducing viral load and improving clinical outcomes. The compound has been evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of RSV infection.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays measure the inhibition of RSV RNA polymerase activity. Lumicitabine triphosphate is incubated with RSV polymerase and a RNA template, and incorporation of the nucleotide analog is measured. The IC50 for polymerase inhibition is determined.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays evaluate the antiviral activity of lumicitabine against RSV in cell culture. Cells are infected with RSV and treated with varying concentrations of the compound. Viral replication is measured by plaque assay, qPCR, or immunofluorescence to determine the EC50.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments are conducted in mouse or cotton rat models of RSV infection. Lumicitabine is administered orally or by other routes, and viral load in lung tissue is measured. Efficacy is assessed by reduction in viral titer and improvement in clinical signs.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Lumicitabine has a molecular formula of C20H25FN4O7 and a molecular weight of 452.43. It has a CAS number of 1445385-02-3. The compound is a cytidine nucleoside analog prodrug that is orally bioavailable.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of lumicitabine is consistent with that of other nucleoside analogs. Potential side effects may include gastrointestinal effects and myelosuppression. The compound has been evaluated in clinical trials for safety and efficacy.

*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
