Product Data
Biological target:
Rac-Efavirenz is a non stereospecific structure of efavirenz. Efavirenz is a potent inhibitor of the wild-type HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with a Ki of 2.93 nM and exhibits an IC95 of 1.5 nM for the inhibition of HIV-1 replicative spread in cell culture.
In vitro activity:
This study found that efavirenz induced growth in MCF-7 cells by binding directly to the estrogen receptor at a roughly 1000-fold higher concentration than observed with 17β-oestradiol. This suggests that efavirenz-induced gynaecomastia may be caused, at least in part, by drug-induced estrogen receptor activation in breast tissues. Reference: HIV Med. 2010 Oct 1;11(9):603-7. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20408889/
In vivo activity:
This study found that the combination treatment of zidovudine and efavirenz almost entirely blocked tumorigenesis. The combination was very well tolerated in mice, implying that the combination therapy could be a potential course to treat colorectal tumors and metastasis to the liver.

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
