Vidarabine phosphate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Vidarabine phosphate (ara-AMP; ara-A 5'-monophosphate) is a purine nucleoside antiviral agent and a prodrug of Vidarabine (HY-B0277). Vidarabine phosphate is rapidly converted into the antiviral active Vidarabine in vivo, which selectively inhibits viral DNA polymerase and cellular ribonucleotide reductase, thereby blocking viral replication. Vidarabine phosphate also exhibits antifungal activity, induces late-stage cellular apoptosis, and causes cell cycle arrest. Vidarabine phosphate can be used in research related to severe chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, herpes infection, and candidiasis.

Biological Activity
Vidarabine (18-1200 μg/mL; 48 h) exhibits bactericidal activity against Candida albicans, with an MIC50 and MFC of 150 μg/mL and 300 μg/mL, respectively[3].
Vidarabine (150-300 μg/mL; 4-24 h) induces intracellular ROS accumulation, nuclear pyknosis, late-stage apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in Candida albicans cells, and reduces their ergosterol content[3].

Animal Model:CDR-CRL (male and female, 2 days old at study initiation)[2]
-
Dosage:25-400 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 5 days
-
Result:Exhibited body weight gains comparable to untreated controls over the study period.
Showed delayed ventral injection-site hair growth measuring 2 cm2 (400 mg/kg group), 0.5 cm2 (100 mg/kg group), and an intermediate size (200 mg/kg group), first evident at 10 days and resolved by 16 days.
Displayed poorly developed hair follicles, adnexal glands, and mild dermal hypoplasia in injection-site skin 7 days after observation initiation, with no such changes at 5, 19, or 33 days.
Had no visceral lesions detected at necropsy at any interval, and no significant changes in absolute liver, brain, cerebellum, or kidney weights.
Showed mild cerebellar folia hypoplasia with an indistinct Purkinje cell layer in one 25 mg/kg female rat at 5 days, with no other histopathologic changes in brain, eye, liver, or kidney across all groups.

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 (4.81 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (16.7 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: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (4.81 mM); Clear solution
