    Merimepodib purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Mol Immunol. 2019 Oct;114:226-232.  [Abstract]

    IBRS-2 cells in 12-well plates are infected with 100 TCID50 FMDV O/MY98/BY/2010. The cells were treated with or without Merimepodib at indicated concentration for 12 h. The FMDV antigens were determined by IFA, the green fluorescence represents the intracelluar distribution of FMDV.

    Merimepodib purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Mol Immunol. 2019 Oct;114:226-232.  [Abstract]

    The viral VP1 protein and β-actin are detected by western blot. β-actin was used as an internal control. A serial dilution of guanosine (from 100 μM to 25μM) are added to FMDV infected IBRS-2 cells, when treated with 25 μM merimepodib for 48 h. Cell viability and VP1 protein is analysed as described above.

    Description

    Merimepodib (VX-497) is a noncompetitive and oral inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) with broad spectrum antiviral activities.

    In Vitro

    VX-497 has antiproliferative effect on lymphoid and keratinocyte cells. The antiproliferative effect of VX-497 in cells is reversed within 48 h of its removal[1]. VX-497 has intermediate antiviral activity against a second group of viruses, which includes HSV-1, parainfluenza-3 virus, BVDV, VEEV, and dengue virus, with IC50s ranging from 6 to 19 μM. VX-497 is 100-fold more potent, with an IC50 of 380 nM and a corresponding CC50 of 5.2 μM, for a therapeutic index of 14. The antiviral activity of VX-497 in HepG2.2.2.15 cells is reversed threefold by the addition of guanosine[2].

    In Vivo

    Oral administration of VX-497 inhibits the primary IgM antibody response in a dose-dependent manner, with an ED50 value of appr 30-35 mg/kg in mice. Single daily dosing of VX-497 is observed to be as effective as twice-daily dosing in this model of immune activation[1]. GVHD developed in the vehicle-treated allografted F1 mice and treatment with VX-497 improved all manifestations of the disease significantly. The 2.9-fold increase in spleen weight in allografted animals is reduced to a 1.6-fold increase in the VX-497-treated mice. Serum IFN-gamma levels are increased 54-fold in the vehicle group while there is a 7.4-fold increase in VX-497-treated animals[3].

    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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.53 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.53 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

    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.
