BAY 41-4109 is able to both accelerate and misdirect capsid assembly in vitro. Preformed capsids are stabilized by BAY 41-4109, up to a ratio of one inhibitor molecule per two dimers[2]. BAY 41-4109 is equally effective at inhibiting HBV DNA release and the cytoplasmic HBcAg level, with IC50s of 32.6 and 132 nM in HepG2.2.15 cells, respectively. HBV DNA and HBcAg are inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that the anti-HBV mechanisms are associated with and dependent on the rate of HBcAg inhibition[3].

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 (6.32 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.

Protocol
Cellular metabolism is evaluated by MTT colorimetry. HepG2.2.15 cells are plated at a density of 2×103 cells per well in 96-well plates. After 8 d of treatment with different concentrations of each antiviral compound, 20 μL of MTT solution (5 g/L) are added to each well and incubated at 37°C for 4 h. Next, 150 μL of DMSO is added and stirred for 10 min to dissolve the crystals. Absorbance values are recorded at 490 nm by using an ELISA reader. The MTT values are calculated using the curve regression equation[3].

Mice: The HBV-transgenic mice are used in the study. Compounds (BAY 41-4109) are formulated as a suspension in 0.5% Tylose and administered per os to mice two times/day for a 28 day period. The 0.5% Tylose serves as a placebo. Six hours after the last treatment, the animals are sacrificed and livers are removed and immediately frozen for subsequent analysis. Blood is obtained by cardiac puncture of the anesthesized animals[1].
