At concentrations of 1.64 mM and 23.34 nmol/mg protein/5 min, respectively, the maximal rates of valacyclovir hydrochloride (valaciclovir hydrochloride, VACV) uptake are concentration-dependent and saturable. The in vitro intestinal transport properties of VACV are dominated by hPEPT1, as demonstrated by the very identical Km values observed in hPEPT1/CHO cells, rat and rabbit tissues, and Caco-2 cells [5].

A major comparative trial found that valacyclovir hydrochloride (1 g twice daily) for 10 days was just as effective as acyclovir (200 mg 5 times daily) for treating a first bout of genital herpes. Two trials found that valacyclovir (200 mg five times daily) was equally efficacious as acyclovir (200 mg five times daily) in a five-day treatment cycle for managing relapses. Valacyclovir at a dose of 1 g per day works just as well as 2 g per day. One dose of valacyclovir can be given every day [1]. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid acyclovir concentrations were assessed at steady state following six days of oral valacyclovir 1,000 mg three times a day [2]. PE and AC have EC50 values in 3T3 cells of 0.02 and 0.01 ug/ml, however in BHK cells they are 0.2 and 0.03 ug/ml. Immunosuppressed mice that were infected were treated with FA and VA (bid, 5.5 days) to eradicate otoparesis, ear lesions (vesicles, etc.), and death. The percentage of erythema was also reduced from 100% to 24% and 38%. By day six, the virus had vanished from the ears and brainstem, but in mice receiving VA treatment, it returned when the medication was stopped [3].

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.93 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 25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.93 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in 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 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C，1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More
Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.93 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 4: 100 mg/mL (277.16 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication. |

*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.
Calculation results
Working concentration： mg/mL；
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution： mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation:：Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O，mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
