Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Lersivirine, also known as UK-453061, is a novel second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) under development for HIV infection therapy. It binds reverse transcriptase in a distinct way leading to a unique resistance profile. In February 2013, ViiV Healthcare announced a stop of the development program investigating lersivirine.

Product Data
Biological target:
Lersivirine (UK-453061) is potent and selective non-nucleoside reverse transcription inhibitor (NNRTI; IC50=119 nM) with excellent efficacy against NNRTI-resistant viruses.
In vitro activity:
The emerging candidate, lersivirine (UK-453,061), binds the RT enzyme in a novel way (resulting in a unique resistance profile), inhibits over 60% of viruses bearing key RT mutations, with 50% effective concentrations (EC(50)s) within 10-fold of those for wt viruses, and has excellent selectivity against a range of human targets. Altogether lersivirine is a highly potent and selective NNRTI, with excellent efficacy against NNRTI-resistant viruses. Reference: Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2010 Oct;54(10):4451-63. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20660667/
In vivo activity:
Administration of lersivirine, a nonnucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor, daily by oral gavage to Sprague-Dawley rats for up to 2 yr was associated with decreased survival, decreased body weights, and an increase in neoplasms and related proliferative lesions in the liver, thyroid, kidney, and urinary bladder.

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.
