Product Description

Azvudine (formerly known as FNC; RO-0622; RO0622) is a novel and potent nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) that has been approved in 2021 in China for the treatment of HIV infection. Azvudine also has the potential to be used for the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19). On July 25, 2022, Azvudine was conditionally approved by the Chinese FDA for the treatment of COVID-19, making it the first oral anti-COVID drug in China. RO-0622 and RO-9187 were excellent substrates for deoxycytidine kinase and were phosphorylated with efficiencies up to 3-fold higher than deoxycytidine. As compared with previous reports on ribonucleosides, higher levels of triphosphate were formed from RO-9187 in primary human hepatocytes, and both compounds were potent inhibitors of HCV virus replication in the replicon system (IC(50) = 171 +/- 12 nM and 24 +/- 3 nM for RO-9187 and RO-0622, respectively; CC(50) >1 mM for both). Both compounds inhibited RNA synthesis by HCV polymerases from either HCV genotypes 1a and 1b or containing S96T or S282T point mutations with similar potencies, suggesting no cross-resistance with either R1479 (4'-azidocytidine) or 2'-C-methyl nucleosides. Pharmacokinetic studies with RO-9187 in rats and dogs showed that plasma concentrations exceeding HCV replicon IC(50) values 8-150-fold could be achieved by low dose (10 mg/kg) oral administration. Therefore, 2'-alpha-deoxy-4'-azido nucleosides are a new class of antiviral nucleosides with promising preclinical properties as potential medicines for the treatment of HCV infection.

Targets
HIV-1(EC50=0.03-6.92 nM);HIV-2(EC50=0.018-0.02 nM)
ln Vitro
Azvudine (RO-0622) exhibits robust suppression against HIV-1IIIB and HIV-1RF wild-type, with an EC50 varying between 30 and 110 pM. Azvudine has EC50 values of 6.92, 0.34, and 0.45 nM against HIV-1KM018, HIV-1TC-1, and HIV-1WAN T69N, respectively. The PIs-resistant strains HIV-1L10R/M46I/L63P/V82T/I84V and HIV-1RF V82F/184V, the FIs-resistant strain pNL4-3 gp41 (36G) V38A/N42T, and the NRTIs-resistant strain HIV-174V are all susceptible to azvudine. Azvudine's EC50 values against these resistant strains are, in turn, 0.11, 0.14, 0.37, and 0.36 nM[1].

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 3.4938 mL 17.4691 mL 34.9382 mL
5 mM 0.6988 mL 3.4938 mL 6.9876 mL
10 mM 0.3494 mL 1.7469 mL 3.4938 mL

*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:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • 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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
