Tenofovir alafenamide (GS-7340) antiviral activities are similar across all cell types, ranging from 5 to 7 nM, while the CC50 varies from 4.7 to 42 μM for MT-4 and MT-2 cells, respectively. The antiviral activity of TAF is evaluated against a panel of HIV-1 and HIV-2 isolates, including HIV-1 group M subtypes A to G, as well as group N and O isolates. Overall, for the 29 primary HIV-1 isolates tested in PBMCs, TAF EC50s range from 0.1 to 12 nM, with a mean EC50 of 3.5 nM compared to a mean EC50 of 11.8 nM for AZT, which is used as an internal control. For the HIV-2 isolates, the mean EC50s are 1.8 nM for TAF and 6.4 nM for AZT[2].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : ≥ 31 mg/mL (65.06 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : 6.67 mg/mL (14.00 mM; Need ultrasonic)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

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.
