Description

Furaprofen (R803) is an effective HCV replication inhibitor. Furaprofen (R803) is substantially more potent against genotype 1a and 1b replicons (EC50, ~30 nM) than against the genotype 2a replicon (EC50, ~1,000 nM).

IC50 & Target

EC50: ~30 nM (HCV genotype 1a and 1b replicons), ~1000 nM (HCV genotype 2a replicon)[1]

In Vitro

Furaprofen (R803) is potent and highly specific for HCV replication. The antiviral activity of Furaprofen has been determined by a reporter replicon assay with multiple repeats to be 29.88±8.05 nM, an ~3-fold improvement over the activity of the parent compound, R706. The potency of Furaprofen against the replicon is also confirmed by both Western blotting and TaqMan RT-PCR to be about 37 nM and 54.67±4.11 nM, respectively. To assess the general effect of Furaprofen on cell proliferation, a panel of primary cells and transformed human cell lines are treated with increasing doses of Furaprofen for 48 h, and the effect on cell proliferation is measured by an MTS-based cell viability assay. The the concentration that caused a 50% reduction in cell numbers in the absence of virus infection (CC50) of Furaprofen is found to range from 2 μM to ≥10 μM, depending on the cell type and proliferation status[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 (7.81 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 (7.81 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]

Replicon 9-13 cells are plated onto 6-well plates 24 h prior to the treatment. Serial dilutions of Furaprofen are made in a mixture containing 90% of the culture medium, 7.2% 1× PBS, 1.8% methanol, 1% DMSO, 20 μM RBV, and varying concentrations of IFN-α for a fixed-ratio dose-response study. The cells are treated with the designated combinations of Furaprofen (0 to 80 nM concentrations) and IFN-α (0 to 4 IU/mL) plus 20 μM RBV for 72 h; then they are washed with PBS, lysed in SDS loading buffer, and analyzed by Western blotting[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.
