Product Description

Emtricitabine (BW1592; FTC; Coviracil; Emtriva; Racivir) is a potent nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) with an EC50 of 0.01 µM and has been used for the treatment of both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus. Emtricitabine is structurally similar to Lamivudine. It is effective at targeting HIV and HBV viruses since these viruses replicate in a reverse transcriptase manner. Studies indicate that the structure of Emtricitabine, specifically the unnatural β-L structural configuration produce greater antiviral effects in vitro on HIV and HBV than other antiviral agents. nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Emtricitabine exhibits in vitro efficacy against clinical isolates of HIV-1 as well as laboratory strains of HIV-1 and HIV-2. EC50, or the 50% effective concentration, varies between 0.002 to 1.5 μmol/L based on the cell line and virus isolate employed. When paired with didanosine or zalcitabine, emtricitabine is active in vitro and synergizes with stavudine and zidovudine in vitro [1].
ln Vivo
Emtricitabine was used in toxicity research related to reproduction and development. The daily area under the curve (AUC0→24) for exposure to pregnant animals at oral dosages up to 1000 mg/kg/day once daily is around 60- to 120-fold (mouse to rabbit), greater than the recommended amount for humans ( 200 mg). Emtricitabine had no effect on sperm count, early embryonic development, or fertility in a mouse fertility research. Studies on the embryofetal toxicity of mice and rabbits did not reveal a higher prevalence of abnormalities. Emtricitabine had no effect on the development or fertility of F1 offspring in prenatal or postnatal trials conducted in mice. According to these findings, emtricitabine has a favorable preclinical safety profile for reproduction [2].

*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
