Description

Amenamevir is a helicase-primase inhibitor which has potent antiviral activity against HSVs with an EC50 of 14 ng/mL.

IC50 & Target[1]

HSV-1

7.7-20 ng/mL (IC50)

HSV-2

15-58 ng/mL (IC50)

In Vitro

Amenamevir (ASP2151) inhibits the replication of the HSV strains isolated in Japan and the United States as well as the laboratory-stocked strains. The mean EC50s of Amenamevir against HSV-1 and HSV-2 are 14 (range, 7.7 to 20) and 30 ng/mL (range, 15 to 58), respectively, whereas those of acyclovir (ACV) are 29 (range, 18 to 38) and 71 ng/mL (range, 45 to 95), respectively. The EC50s of Amenamevir against HSV strains are significantly lower than those of ACV[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Amenamevir (ASP2151) administration accelerates the reduction in virus titer in a dose-dependent manner in the range of 3 to 30 mg/kg/day. Amenamevir treatment decreases both lesion scores and HSV-1 titers in a dose-dependent manner, irrespective of the dosing interval. Based on the correlation curves, the PK parameters at which HSV-1 growth is completely suppressed by oral administration of Amenamevir are estimated to be 10,000 ng/mL or higher for the maximum concentration of drug in serum (Cmax), 60 μg • h/ml or higher for concentration-time curve over 24 h (AUC24h), and 21 to 24 h for T>100 . The mean concentration of Amenamevir in plasma at 5 days postinfection increases in a dose-dependent manner, with doses of 3 mg Amenamevir/g or higher significantly reducing the intradermal HSV-1 titer[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.31 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.31 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[1]

The antiviral activities of Amenamevir (ASP2151) and ACV against HSVs are tested using a plaque reduction assay. Briefly, HEF cells are seeded into multi well plates and incubated until they form a monolayer. After the medium is removed, the cells are infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2, and the plates are further incubated for 1 h at 37°C. The cells are washed twice with maintenance medium and then treated with the test compound (including Amenamevir) until clear plaques appear. The cells are then fixed with 10% formalin in phosphate-buffered saline, stained with a 0.02% crystal violet solution, and the number of plaques is determined under a light microscope. The EC50, which represents the concentration of test compound needed to reduce the plaque number by 50%, is calculated using nonlinear regression analysis with a sigmoid-maximum effect (Emax) model[1].

Animal Administration
[1]

Female hairless mice (HOS:HR-1, 7 to 8 weeks old) are infected with a suspension of HSV-1 strain WT51 (15 μL/mouse; titer, 2×108 PFU/mL) or CI-116 (15 μL/mouse; titer, 4×107 PFU/mL) in the dorsolateral skin stripped as a small square using a needle, under anesthesia. The day of HSV-1 infection is designated day zero postinfection. Total daily doses of 1, 3, 10, 30, or 100 mg/kg/day ASP2151 are orally administered to HSV-1-infected mice (n=5) for 5 days. Amenamevir (ASP2151) treatments are started 2 to 3 h after HSV infection either as a single daily dose (every 24 h, q24h) or as two (every 12 h, q12h) or three (every 8 h, q8h) divided doses. Lesion scores and intradermal HSV-1 titers are measured on day 5 postinfection[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
