Product Description

Maribavir (1263W94; BW-1263W94; GW-1263; SHP-620; GW-257406X; VP-41263; Livtencity), an experimental oral antiviral (anti-CMV) drug candidate, is a novel and potent inhibitor of histone phosphorylation catalyzed by wild-type pUL97 in vitro with an IC50 of 3 nM. As of December 2021, Maribavir has been approved as the first drug for treating adults and pediatric patients with post-transplant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection/disease that does not respond to available antiviral treatment for CMV. Livtencity works by preventing the activity of human cytomegalovirus enzyme pUL97, thus blocking virus replication. Maribavir has potent antiviral activity against HCMV and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Maribavir is licensed by ViroPharma from GlaxoSmithKline in 2003 for the prevention and treatment of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) disease in hematopoietic stem cell/bone marrow transplant patients.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HCMV
ln Vitro
Maribavir, with a mean IC50 of 35 nM, is a strong inhibitor of autophosporylation of both the wild type and all of the major Ganciclovir (GCV) resistant UL97 mutants that have been studied. With an IC50 of 4.8 nM, the M460I mutation causes hypersensitivity to maribavir. L397R, a UL97 mutant resistant to maribavir, exhibits reduced function as a Ganciclovir kinase and protein kinase (~10% of wild type levels). Maribavir is a competitive inhibitor of ATP with a Ki of 10 nM, as shown by enzyme kinetic studies[1]. Using a multicycle DNA hybridization assay, maribavir (1263W94) inhibits viral replication in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 0.12±0.01 μM. Maribavir significantly inhibits the pUL97 protein kinase, with 50% inhibition happening at 3 nM[2].
Enzyme Assay
Using increasing concentrations of ATP (2 μM to 20 μM), enzyme kinetic analysis is carried out on the purified wild type and mutant UL97 protein species. To calculate the Km for ATP for each UL97 species, the amount of incorporated radiolabelled phosphate is plotted against the concentration of ATP in a Lineweaver Burke plot. Protein kinase assays are used to measure the impact of Maribavir on the rate of radiolabelled phosphate incorporation by either wild type or mutant UL97.The assays can be conducted at a fixed concentration of 0.55 μM of Maribavir, as previously mentioned, or with increasing concentrations of 0.01 μM to 5.0 μM of Maribavir to determine the IC50 of Maribavir for each species of UL97.Plots of 1/v vs 1/ATP with increasing Maribavir concentrations are created to ascertain the type of inhibition mediated by Maribavir. If the family of lines converged at 1/Vmax on the y-axis, then there was clear evidence of competitive inhibition. The Ki is computed using the variation in slope brought about by the addition of Maribavir[1].
Cell Assay
MRC-5 cells are cultivated for three days in MEM 8-1-1 until confluence (~1.1×105 cells/well), after being seeded in 24-well plates at a density of approximately 5×104 cells/well. In MEM 2-1-1, the cells are infected with AD169 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1 to 3, and the infection is allowed to adsorb for 90 minutes at 37°C. One milliliter of MEM 2-1-1 is added in place of the unadsorbed virus. Maribavir, BDCRB, or GCV are added to the medium at the concentrations specified for each experiment to examine the impact of the compounds on viral DNA synthesis or maturation[2].

  • 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)
