Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
Reverse transcriptase
In vitro
Efavirenz has direct inhibitory effect on the mitochondrial respiratory function of cultured glioblastoma and differentiated neuroblastoma cell lines. ER stress markers, including CHOP and GRP78 expression (both protein and mRNA), phosphorylation of eIF2a, and presence of the spliced form of XBP1 are upregulated. This compound also enhances cytosolic Ca2+ content and induced morphological changes in the ER suggestive of ER stress. This response is greatly attenuated in cells with altered mitochondrial function (Rho). The effects of this chemical on the ER, and particularly in regard to the mitochondrial involvement, differs from those elicited by a standard pharmacological ER stressor.
In vivo
Efavirenz leads to arterial stiffening but, for the dose and duration tested, did not lead to elevated plaque progression in ApoE(-/-) mice.
