Product Description

Nevirapine (also known as NSC 641530; BI-RG 587; NSC 641530; NVP) is a potent non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) used for the treatment of HIV-1 infection and AIDS. It inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with a Ki of 270 μM. As with other antiretroviral drugs, HIV rapidly develops resistance if nevirapine is used alone, so recommended therapy consists of combinations of three or more antiretrovirals. Nevirapine in triple combination therapy has been shown to suppress viral load effectively when used as initial antiretroviral therapy.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Only CYP3A4 is inhibited by nevirapine at values far above those that are therapeutically relevant (Ki=270 μM)[1]. Nevirapine has been applied to tumors in a number of human cancer models as a re-differentiation agent. After 48 hours of treatment, nevirapine strongly reduces cell growth at all tested dosages (100, 200, 350, and 500 μM). Nevirapine dramatically raises the proportion of apoptotic cells when compared to control at a high dose (500 μM)[2]. In multiple cellular assays, nevirapine is a strong and specific inhibitor (IC50=10-100 nM) of the replication of a broad range of HIV-1 strains[3].
ln Vivo
Nevirapine can be used with nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g., didanosine, zidovudine, etc.) in combination. The FDA has approved the use of nevirapine in conjunction with HIV-1 protease inhibitors, such as saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir, and so forth. In humans, 2-, 3-, 8-, and 12-hydroxynevirapine glucuronide conjugates are the main way that nevirapine is excreted in the urine[1]. All sexes of mice, rats, rabbits, monkeys, and chimpanzees fully absorb nevirapine. In all investigated animal species, nevirapine is substantially metabolized in both sexes[4]. When compared to the control, nevirapine (9 mg/kg, 18 mg/kg, and 36 mg/kg) significantly reduces the ulcer severity score and ulcer index[5].
Animal Protocol
Rats: Nevirapine and [14C] Nevirapine are dissolved together in absolute ethanol and methylene chloride (1:1, v/v) with mild heating. The concentration of drug in suspension is 2 mg/mL (20 mg/kg, 26 μCi) for oral dosing to rats and 6.7 mg/mL (20.3 mg/kg, 10 μCi males, 8.9 μCi females) for intraduodenal administration to rats before bile collection. The i.v. dose is administered to rats (1.1 mg/kg, 20 μCi) as a solution in 20% ethanol/80% saline.
Mice: Nevirapine and [14C] Nevirapine are dissolved together in absolute ethanol and methylene chloride (1:1, v/v) with mild heating. The concentration of drug in suspension is 2 mg/mL (20 mg/kg, 2.5 μCi) with a specific activity of 5.55 μCi/mg for oral dosing to mice.

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1.43 mg/mL (5.37 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 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 14.3 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.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 1.43 mg/mL (5.37 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 14.3 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

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

*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
