Product Description

Stavudine (also known as BMY-27857, Sanilvudine, NSC 163661, and d4T) is a potent antiretroviral medication of the nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NARTI) class, it is active against HIV and has been approved for preventing and treating HIV/AIDS. Stavudine alteres the lipid phenotype, decreasing the lipid content and expression of markers involved in lipid metabolism, namely C/EBPalpha, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, adipocyte lipid binding protein 2, fatty acid synthase and acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In THP-1 derived macrophages, stavudine (d4T) (50 μM) dramatically lowers IL-18 production, NLRP3 inflammasome gene expression, and Aβ 42-stimulated cellular production of IL-1β[3]. Stavudine (d4T) (50 μM) suppresses the phagocytosis of Aβ 42 by macrophages and prevents the formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex[3]. Stavudine (d4T) (10 μM, 7 or 14 days) increased hydrogen peroxide levels and strongly caused apoptosis in CEM cells, particularly after 14 days[4].
ln Vivo
In male RjOrl Swiss mice, stavudine (d4T) (500 mg/kg, daily liquid, 2 weeks) can quickly cause fat depletion and minor liver damage at high doses[5].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male RjOrl Swiss mice weighing 0.028-0.03 kg[1]
Doses: 500 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Daily liquid; 2 weeks
Experimental Results: decreased fat weight gain by 58%, 5.7 g in the control group and 4.9 g in the d4T treated group. Dramatically elevated plasma ALT and LDH levels. decreased plasma acetoacetic acid and beta-hydroxybutyric acid levels. decreased liver and muscle mtDNA levels at high dose concentration of 500 mg/kg.

*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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
