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

Features
Approved anti-HIV drug with longer half-life and reduced side-effect profile than older NNRTIs.
Targets/IC50/Ki
Reverse transcriptase
In vitro
Rilpivirine shows antiviral activity with EC50 ranging from 0.1 nM to 2 nM against wild-type and selected site-directed single and double mutants of HIV-1. This compound inhibits viral replication at concentrations at which first-generation NNRTIs could not suppress replication, and produces a high genetic barrier to resistance development.
In vivo
After iv administration of Rilpivirine, Elimination half-life ranges from 4.4 h in rat to 31 h in dog. After oral administration of this compound in PEG 400, half-life ranges between 2.8 h in rat and 39 h in dog.
