Description

Obefazimod (ABX464) is a potent anti-HIV agent. Obefazimod inhibits HIV-1 replication in stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with an IC50 ranging between 0.1 μM and 0.5 μM.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.1-0.5 μM (HIV-1, in PBMCs)[1]

In Vitro

Obefazimod inhibits HIV-1 production in PBMC- and macrophages-infected cells. Obefazimod has a strong inhibitory effect for all HIV-1 subtypes tested including subtype B, C and recombinant viruses. Obefazimod also very efficiently inhibits the replication of viral strains harbouring mutations that confer resistance to different therapeutic agents in vitro. While the antiviral drug 3TC is not highly active on K65R and M184V mutant strains, both strains are inhibited by Obefazimod. To generalize the effect of Obefazimod on HIV-1 replication in other primary cells, cells are treated with between 0.01 μM up to 30 μM concentrations of Obefazimod and p24 antigen levels are monitored in culture supernatants over a 12 days period. Obefazimod efficiently blocks virus replication in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 ranging between 0.1 μM and 1 μM[1].

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

In Vivo

Humanized mice reconstituted with human lymphoid cells provide rapid, reliable, reproducible experimental systems for testing the efficacy of Obefazimod in vivo. In the initial setting, SCID mice are reconstituted with PBMCs and then infected with the HIV-1 strain JR-CSF. Mice are treated twice a day (b.i.d) for 15 days by oral gavage with 20 mg/kg of Obefazimod. Measures of viral RNA show that the oral treatment with Obefazimod is able to significantly reduce the viral load over a period of 15 days of treatment. FACS analysis of blood samples show that treatment with Obefazimod prevents depletion of CD4+ cells following infection of reconstituted mice and thereby restores the CD8+/CD4+ ratio back to that of non-infected mice[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: ≥ 3.75 mg/mL (11.07 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (37.5 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 3.75 mg/mL (11.07 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (37.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Cell Assay
[1]

The concentration of ABX464 with minimal side effects on cell viability is determined using an MTS test. PBMCs are treated with ABX464 (2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 63, 125, and 250 μM). Cell viability is measured by MTS assay after 6 days of incubation and cytotoxicity is indicated as percentage as compared with untreated cells[1].

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

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice[1]
SCID mice are reconstituted with fresh human PBMCs for two weeks and the reconstitution rates are estimated by human IgG titration. Reconstituted SCID mice are infected with JRCSF HIV-1 strain by intraperitoneal injection. Control group receive labrafil and 5% DMSO by gavage (n=15) and the treated group receive 20 mg/kg b.i.d of ABX464 (n=14) for 15 days[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.
