Fomivirsen sodium
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Fomivirsen (ISIS-2922) sodium is an antisense 21 mer phosphorothioate oligonucleotide. Fomivirsen sodium is an antiviral agent that is used cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMV) research, incluiding in AIDs. Fomivirsen sodium binds to and degrades the mRNAs encoding CMV immediate-early 2 protein, thus inhibiting virus proliferation.

Biological Activity
Antisense oligonucleotide acts a complementary nucleotide to the messenger RNA of the major immediate-early region proteins of human cytomegalovirus, it disrupts the replication of the virus through an antisense mechanism[1].Fomivirsen is 21-mer phosphorothioate ASO with CpG motif near its 5′ end, with the sequence 5′-GCG TTT GCT CTT CTT CTT GCG-3′, resulting in mRNA degradation by RNase H-mediated mechanism[2].Fomivirsen inhibits CMV replication in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and in human fibroblast cells (MRC-5 cells) in a dose-dependent manner. The mean IC50 are 0.03 μM for RPE cells and 0.2 μM for MRC5 cells[1].

Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 100 mg/mL (Need ultrasonic)
For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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.
