Umifenovir Lipodisq™ Sterile Solution
Product Details | |
---|---|
Synonyms | Arbidol; ARB |
Product Type | Chemical |
Properties | |
Formula |
C22H25BrN2O3S . HCl |
MW | 477.4 . 36.5 |
CAS | 131707-23-8 |
RTECS | NL5998075 |
Purity Chemicals | ≥95% (HPLC) |
Appearance | Light yellow coloured clear aqueous solution |
Solubility | Soluble in water, PBS, Tris and other physiological solutions as formulated in a proprietary, thermostable, aqueous lipid nanoparticulate formulation (Lipodisq). |
Reconstitution | Avoid the use of buffers with divalent ions such as Ca or Mg or pH <6.5 or >8.0, which can cause particle instability. Unformulated umifenovir is soluble in DMF, DMSO or ethanol. |
Formulation | Liquid, detergent-free discoidal nano-formulation made of styrene-maleic acid lipid particles (SMALP), lecithin and sterile water. |
Concentration | 1mg/ml (0.1% w/vol) |
Biological Activity |
Discoidal nano-particles can incorporate hydrophobic, poorly water-soluble compounds, such as lipids, lipoproteins and glycolipids. - Cell culture tested (human macrophage cell line) (MTT). - Recommended starting dilution: 1:200 or higher. - Optimal working concentrations depend on the applications and need to be determined. - Published procedures using Lipodisq formulations (Curcumin and IAXO TLR4 antagonists) in vivo rodent models at 3-10mg/kg. Recommended route of administration is subcutaneous (s.c.) with oral or nasal application as a possible alternative, which needs to be optimized. |

- Umifenovir Lipodisq Sterile Solution is a ready-to-use nano-formulated aqueous solution.
- Umifenovir (Arbidol) is known to have broad-spectrum anti-viral activity and has earlier been approved in China and Russia for treating influenza, SARS, and Lassa viruses. It has been tested in multiple clinical studies as a candidate for use as an anti-COVID19 therapeutic and has been suggested to act at the entry stage and at the post-entry stages by preventing viral attachment and inhibiting the release of virus particles from intracellular vesicles, respectively. In a recent phase III, clinical study Umifenovir met the primary and secondary endpoint criteria. It has been shown to efficacious, safe and well-tolerated at the tested dosage.
- Umifenovir Lipodisq is based on a nanoparticle (11-40nm) drug delivery system comprising a discoidal phospholipid bilayer membrane stabilized by a chaperone molecule annulus. Internal properties of the phospholipid membrane support the disposition and stabilization of drug molecule candidates and preserve the native conformation of membrane molecules. The resulting encapsulated actives are rendered water-soluble and specialized for intra-cellular penetration/delivery via endosomal uptake mechanisms. Lipodisq solutions show a good safety profile and are suitable for in vitro and in vivo investigations.
