VX-497 has antiproliferative effect on lymphoid and keratinocyte cells. The antiproliferative effect of VX-497 in cells is reversed within 48 h of its removal[1]. VX-497 has intermediate antiviral activity against a second group of viruses, which includes HSV-1, parainfluenza-3 virus, BVDV, VEEV, and dengue virus, with IC50s ranging from 6 to 19 μM. VX-497 is 100-fold more potent, with an IC50 of 380 nM and a corresponding CC50 of 5.2 μM, for a therapeutic index of 14. The antiviral activity of VX-497 in HepG2.2.2.15 cells is reversed threefold by the addition of guanosine[2].

Antiviral activity of merimepodib against foot and mouth disease virus in vitro and in vivo. [Abstract]2019 Oct;114:226-232. PMID: 31386979
Merimepodib purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Mol Immunol. 2019 Oct;114:226-232. [Abstract]
IBRS-2 cells in 12-well plates are infected with 100 TCID50 FMDV O/MY98/BY/2010. The cells were treated with or without Merimepodib at indicated concentration for 12 h. The FMDV antigens were determined by IFA, the green fluorescence represents the intracelluar distribution of FMDV.

The viral VP1 protein and β-actin are detected by western blot. β-actin was used as an internal control. A serial dilution of guanosine (from 100 μM to 25μM) are added to FMDV infected IBRS-2 cells, when treated with 25 μM merimepodib for 48 h. Cell viability and VP1 protein is analysed as described above.

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.53 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.53 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
The murine fibroblast L929 cell line is cultured in Eagle minimal essential medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, nonessential amino acids, 50 U of penicillin per mL, 50 μg of streptomycin per mL, and 2 mM l-glutamine. EMCV is infected at 500 PFU/107 L929 cells. Cells are left untreated or are treated with different concentrations of murine IFN-α alone, VX-497 alone, or combinations thereof.
