Product Description

Zanamivir (GR-121167X; GG-167; Relenza) is a novel and potent neuraminidase inhibitor with antiviral activity against influenza. It inhibits influenza with IC50 values of 0.95 nM and 2.7 nM for influenza A and B, respectively. It can be used in the treatment and prophylaxis of influenza caused by influenza A and B viruses. Zanamivir acts by binding to the active site of the neuraminidase protein, rendering the influenza virus unable to escape its host cell and infect others. It is also an inhibitor of influenza virus replication in vitro and in vivo.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Influenza A(IC50= 0.95 nM);Influenza B(IC50= 2.7 nM)
ln Vitro
Zanamivir (GR-121167X; GG-167; Relenza) interacts with a group of amino acids in the active site of neuraminidase, which are conserved in all influenza A and B strains.By inhibiting neuraminidase's ability to cleave sialic acid on cell receptors, zanamivir stops the release and dissemination of newly formed virions[2].
ln Vivo
Zanamivir has a poor bioavailability in oral administration, with only 4–17% of the agent. Because of its strong hydrophilic nature, which restricts its transport across the intestinal epithelium, oral delivery of zanamivir has proven to be problematic. When combined with zanamivir, permeability enhancers like sodium cholate and hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin can improve intestinal permeability[3].
Animal Protocol
Rats
Combinations Rats kept conscious are given IV-R (reference Zanamivir saline solution for intravenous injection) at a dose of 1 mg/kg.PO-SC (Zanamivir with SC for p.o.) and PO-C (Zanamivir control solution for p.o.) are given oral Zanamivir doses of 10 mg/kg. Before, at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours after administration, blood samples are taken. Three rats from each group are sacrificed at each sampling point to remove the lungs following blood collection.After the rats' lungs are removed through a chest incision, the lungs are cleaned with saline. After that, the lungs are placed in an E-tube and kept in a freezer at -80°C until they are examined. After being centrifuged at 1,500 × g for 10 minutes, plasma samples are collected and kept at -20°C until analysis. Zanamivir is analyzed using the previously stated LC-MS/MS method in both plasma and lungs[3].

*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:

  • 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)
