In vivo batch selection In vivo Batch:
Homogeneous suspension	CMC-NA	≥5mg/ml	Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 5 mg of this product to 1 ml of CMC-Na solution, mix evenly to obtain a homogeneous suspension with a final concentration of 5 mg/ml.
Clear solution	5%DMSO 1 40%PEG300 2 5%Tween80 3 50%ddH2O Validated by Selleck labs. Should you need adjustments to this formulation, contact our sales team for custom testing.	5mg/ml (8.73mM)	Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 100 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro	AIC246 blocks viral replication without inhibiting the synthesis of progeny HCMV DNA or viral proteins. It is one of the most potent anti-HCMV agents reported to date, with a cell culture EC50 in the one-digit nanomolar range (∼5 nM) and a selectivity index exceeding 15,000.
In vivo	AIC246 treatment leads to a dose-dependent reduction of the HCMV titer in transplanted cells compared to that of the placebo-treated control group using the mouse xenograft model.
