    Description

    Favipiravir (T-705) is a potent viral RNA polymerase inhibitor, it is phosphoribosylated by cellular enzymes to its active form, Favipiravir-ribofuranosyl-5′-triphosphate (RTP). Favipiravir-RTP inhibits the influenza viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) activity with an IC50 of 341 nM.

    IC50 & Target

    IC50: 341 nM (RdRP)[1]
    In Vitro

    Favipiravir (T 705) is an antiviral drug that selectively inhibits the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of influenza virus. Favipiravir (T 705) is a novel antiviral compound that selectively and potently inhibits the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) of influenza and many other RNA viruses. Favipiravir-RTP does not inhibit the human DNA polymerase α, β or γ with IC50>1 mM. The IC50 for the human RNA polymerase II is 905 μM; Favipiravir is therefore 2,650 times more selective for the influenza virus RdRP, consistent with the lack of inhibition of host-cell DNA and RNA synthesis[1]. Favipiravir (T 705) acts as a pro-drug, its cytotoxicity is expected to be cell-line dependent. Favipiravir inhibits in a dose-dependent manner MNV-induced CPE (EC50: 250±11 μM) and MNV RNA synthesis in cell culture (EC50:124±42 μM). Despite this rather modest antiviral activity, Favipiravir (T 705) is able to completely inhibit norovirus replication at a concentration of 100 μg/mL, which is a concentration that has little or no adverse effect on the host cell (cell viability >80%)[2].

    Cell Assay
    [2]

    The antiviral activity of Favipiravir (T 705) is determined using an MTS-based CPE reduction assay in the MNV/RAW 264.7 cell line. To this end, RAW 264.7 cells are seeded (1×104 cells/well) in 96-well plates and infected with MNV at an MOI of 0,001 in the presence (or absence) of a dilution series of Favipiravir (T 705) (3.13-200 μg/mL). Following 3 days of incubation, i.e. until complete CPE is observed in infected untreated cells, cell culture supernatants are collected for quantification of viral RNA load by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). For the MTS reduction assay an MTS/Phenazine methosulphate (PMS) stock solution (2 mg/mL MTS and 46 g/mL PMS in PBS at pH 6-6.5) is diluted 1/20 in MEM. To each well, 75 μL of MTS/PMS solution is added and the optical density (OD) is read at 498 nm 2 h later. The % CPE reduction is calculated as [(ODtreated)MNW−ODVC]/[ODCC-ODVC]×100, where ODCC represents the OD of the uninfected untreated cells, whereas ODVC and (ODtreated)CC represent the OD of infected untreated cells and virus-infected cells treated with a compound concentration, respectively. The EC50 is defined as the compound concentration that protected 50% of cells from virus-induced CPE. Adverse effects of the molecule on the host cell are also assessed by means of the MTS-method, by exposing uninfected cells to the same concentrations of Favipiravir for 3 days. The % cell viability is calculated as (ODtreated/ODCC)×100, where ODCC is the OD of uninfected untreated cells and ODtreated are uninfected cells treated with compound. The CC50 is defined as the compound concentration that reduces the number of viable cells by 50%. The selectivity index (SI) is calculated as CC50/EC50[2].

    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.
