Biological Activity

Description

Favipiravir (T-705) is a potent and selective RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor, used to treat influenza virus infections.

Targets

RNA-dependent RNA polymerase ^[1]

In vitro

Favipiravir shows anti-influenza virus activities with IC50 ranged from 0.013 to 0.48 μg/ml for the influenza A viruses, from 0.039 to 0.089 μg/ml for the influenza B viruses, and from 0.030 to 0.057 μg/ml for the influenza C viruses. In mammalian cell lines (MDCK cells, Vero cells, HEL cells, A549 cells, HeLa cells, and HEp-2 cells), Favipiravir shows no cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 1,000 μg/ml. ^[1] In MDCK cells inoculated with seasonal influenza A (H1N1) viruses, Favipiravir induces lethal mutagenesis. ^[2]

In vivo

In influenza virus-infected mice, Favipiravir (200 mg/kg/day, p.o.) protects the mice from death from influenza virus infection. ^[1] In mice experimentally infected with Ebola virus, Favipiravir efficiently blocks viral production, reaching an antiviral effectiveness of 95% and 99.6% at 2 and 6days after initiation of treatment, respectively. ^[3]

Protocol

Cell Research:^[1]	- Collapse Cell lines: MDCK cells, Vero cells, HEL cells, A549 cells, HeLa cells, and HEp-2 cells Concentrations: 1000 μg/mL Incubation Time: 3 days Method: The cytotoxicity of T-705 is evaluated by an assay with XTT. XTT is converted to aqueous formazan by an enzyme in MDCK cells, Vero cells, HEL cells, A549 cells, HeLa cells, and HEp-2 cells. The compounds are diluted to the appropriate concentrations (volume, 100 μl) with test medium (EMEM containing 10% FCS) in 96-well culture plates in which each well contains a concentration of 2 × 10³ cells/100 μL. The test plates are incubated for 3 days at 37°C in 100% humidity and 5% CO₂. After 3 days, 50 μl of the XTT reagent (1 mg/ml in FCS-free EMEM containing 5 mM phenazine methosulfate) is added, and the reaction product is assayed by measurement of the absorbance at 450 nm with a microplate reader. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the 50% cell-inhibitory concentration (CC50). (Only for Reference)

Bio Calculators

Molarity Calculator

Calculate the mass, volume or concentration required for a solution. The Selleck molarity calculator is based on the following equation:

Mass (mg) = Concentration (mM) × Volume (mL) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)

*When preparing stock solutions, please always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the via label and MSDS / COA (available on product pages).

Dilution Calculator

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution. The Selleck dilution calculator is based on the following equation:

Concentration _(start) x Volume _(start) = Concentration _(final) x Volume _(final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2 ( Input Output )

* When preparing stock solutions always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the vial label and MSDS / COA (available online).

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:

Molecular mass (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.
