Vesatolimod (GS-9620) rapidly internalizes into cells and preferentially localizes to and signals from endo-lysosomal compartments. To test this hypothesis, the kinetics of cellular uptake of the compound in Daudi cells using tritiated Vesatolimod (3H-GS-9620) is measured. The kinetics of 3H-GS-9620 accumulation is rapid, reaching concentration-dependent steady-state equilibrium in approximately thirty minutes. Measured intracellular concentration of 3H-Vesatolimod is 5-fold higher than the extracellular concentration of 3H-GS-9620 used to treat cells. Increases in intracellular 3H-Vesatolimod concentrations are roughly proportional with increasing concentrations of 3H-GS-9620[1].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (4.07 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Protocol
Daudi cells are incubated for indicated times with varying concentrations [3H]Vesatolimod (GS-9620) (0.7μCi/mL). Cell associated radioactivity is extracted with ice cold 80% ethanol and measured using liquid scintillation counting. The total amount of Vesatolimod in cells is calculated from a calibration curve for Vesatolimod (GS-9620) mass versus radioactivity. Cell volume is measured[1].

Chimpanzee[2]
Chimpanzees are used. The trial design includes 4 weeks of pre-study evaluation (Day-28, -13 and just prior to first dose) and two cycles of oral Vesatolimod (GS-9620) treatment every other day three times per week for 4 weeks with one cycle at 1 mg/kg, and, after a one week rest, a second cycle at 2 mg/kg. Animals are also intensely monitored for 14 weeks after treatment to assess tolerability and durability of response.
