Handling Instructions Technical Support

Lenacapavir (GS-6207) sodium is an HIV-1 capsid inhibitor. Lenacapavir sodium binds to the interface between capsid hexamers and CA monomers, disrupts capsid assembly and viral maturation, inhibits nuclear translocation of HIV-1 DNA, interferes with CA-mediated protein-protein interactions, reduces the formation of 2-LTR circles and pre-integration proviruses, induces aberrant capsids, and decreases the production of mature HIV-1. Lenacapavir sodium exhibits activity against a variety of HIV-1 subtypes and clinical isolates. Lenacapavir sodium is applicable to research related to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection.

    In Vitro

    Lenacapavir sodium inhibits HIV-1 with mean IC50 values of 200 pM in single-cycle assays and 170 pM in multicycle assays, and inhibits HIV-2 with mean IC50 values of 2.2 nM in single-cycle assays and 2.4 nM in multicycle assays[1].
    Lenacapavir sodium inhibits HIV-1 in MT-4 cells with a mean EC50 of 105 pM[1].
    Lenacapavir sodium inhibits HIV-1 in primary human CD4+ T cells with a mean EC50 of 32 pM and in primary human macrophages with a mean EC50 of 56 pM[1].
    Lenacapavir sodium inhibits 23 HIV-1 isolates in PBMCs with a mean EC50 of 50 pM[1].
    Lenacapavir sodium has its binding affinity reduced by 20-fold and viral susceptibility to it reduced by 10-fold due to the HIV-1 capsid N74D mutation[1].
    Lenacapavir sodium (48 hours post-infection) exhibits reduced potency against HIV-1 with CA mutations associated with resistance, with fold resistance values ranging from 6-fold (Q67H) to >3226-fold (M66I) relative to wild-type HIV-1 in MT-2 cells[2].

    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.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
