IC50 & Target EC50：3.75 nM (anti-HBV, HepG2 cell)[1] In Vitro *Solubility : DMSO : ≥ 50 mg/mL (169.33 mM) H2O : 2.8 mg/mL (9.48 mM; Need ultrasonic and warming) *Preparation : 1mM = 1mg in 3.3865 mL Entecavir monohydrate (BMS200475 monohydrate; SQ34676 monohydrate) has a EC50 of 3.75 nM against HBV. It is incorporated into the protein primer of HBV and subsequently inhibits the priming step of the reverse transcriptase. The antiviral activity of BMS-200475 is significantly less against the other RNA and DNA viruses[1]. Entecavir monohydrate is more readily phosphorylated to its active metabolites than other deoxyguanosine analogs (penciclovir, ganciclovir, lobucavir, and aciclovir) or lamivudine. The intracellular half-life of entecavir is 15 h[2]. P.1 InterBioTech FT-XLS250 In Vivo *Preparation : 1.

Biological Description Description Entecavir is a guanosine nucleoside analogue used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Entecavir therapy can be associated with flares of the underlying hepatitis B during or after therapy, but has not been linked to cases of clinically apparent liver injury. Targets(IC50) HBV( HepG2 cell): EC50:3.75nM In vitro BMS-200475 has a EC50 of 3.75 nM against HBV.

Cell Research BMS 200475 is prepared in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and diluted with appropriate medium containing 2% fetal bovine serum. HepG2 2.2.15 cells are plated at a density of 5×105 cells per well on 12-well Biocoat collagen-coated plates and are maintained in a confluent state for 2 to 3 days before being overlaid with 1 mL of medium spiked with BMS 200475.

NAs suppress hepatic decompensation and hepatocarcinogenesis, leading to a dramatic improvement of the natural course of patients with CHB. However, renal dysfunction is becoming an important issue for the management of CHB. Renal dysfunction develops in patients with the long-term treatment of NAs including adefovir dipivoxil and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Recently, several studies have reported that the newly approved tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has a safe profile for the kidney due to greater plasma stability. In this mini-review, we discuss the effectiveness of switching to TAF for NAs-related renal tubular dysfunction in patients with CHB.

  • Rash with Entecavir - Case Report Xiong Khee Cheong1, Zhiqin Wong2*, Norazirah Md Nor3 and Bang Rom Lee4

BMC Gastroenterology (2020) 20:305 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12876-020-01452-3 CASE REPORT Open Access “Black box warning” rash with entecavir - case report Xiong Khee Cheong1, Zhiqin Wong2*, Norazirah Md Nor3 and Bang Rom Lee4 Abstract Background: Hepatitis B infection is a significant worldwide health issue, predispose to the development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Entecavir is a potent oral antiviral agent of high genetic barrier for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B infection. Cutaneous adverse reaction associated with entecavir has rarely been reported in literature. As our knowledge, this case was the first case reported on entecavir induced lichenoid drug eruption. Case presentation: 55 year old gentlemen presented with generalised pruritic erythematous rash on trunk and extremities. Six weeks prior to his consultation, antiviral agent entecavir was commenced for his chronic hepatitis B infection. Skin biopsy revealed acanthosis and focal lymphocytes with moderate perivascular lymphocyte infiltration. Skin condition recovered completely after caesation of offending drug and short course of oral corticosteroids. Conclusion: This case highlight the awareness of clinicians on the spectrum of cutaneous drug reaction related to entecavir therapy.

Details Generic Name Entecavir Trade Name Baraclude® Class Guanosine nucleoside analogue with selective antiviral activity against HBV polymerase Molecular Weight 295.3 Structure NH2 H2O HO NNH O HO N N CH2 Summary of Key Pharmacokinetic Parameters Entecavir is phosphorylated to the active triphosphate form, which has an intracellular half‐life of 15 hours. Linearity/non‐linearity Dose‐proportionate increases in Cmax and AUC following multiple doses ranging from 0.1‐1 mg. Steady state Achieved between 6‐10 days after once daily dosing with ~2 times accumulation. Plasma half life When peak levels reached, terminal elimination half life is approx. 128‐149 hours. Cmax 4.2 ng/ml (0.5 mg dose) at steady state 8.2 ng/ml (1 mg dose) at steady state Cmin 0.3 ng/ml (0.5 mg dose) at steady state 0.5 ng/ml (1 mg dose) at steady state AUC 27.9 ng.h/ml (1 mg single dose) Bioavailability Absolute bioavailability not determined; estimated to be at least 70%. Absorption Administration with a high fat or light meal results in slight delay in absorption; a 44‐46% decrease in Cmax, and an 18‐20% decrease in AUC. The US Prescribing Information recommends that all patients should take entecavir on an empty stomach (at least 2 hours after a meal and 2 hours before the next meal), but the European SPC only makes this recommendation for lamivudine‐refractory patients.

    Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Adults and Adolescents with HIV Developed by the DHHS Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents – A Working Group of the Office of AIDS Research Advisory Council (OARAC) How to Cite the Adult and Adolescent Guidelines: Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents. Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Adults and Adolescents with HIV. Department of Health and Human Services. Available at https://clinicalinfo.hiv.gov/sites/default/files/guidelines/documents/ AdultandAdolescentGL.pdf. Accessed [insert date] [insert page number, table number, etc. if applicable] It is emphasized that concepts relevant to HIV management evolve rapidly. The Panel has a mechanism to update recommendations on a regular basis, and the most recent information is available on the HIVinfo Web site (http://hivinfo.nih.gov). What’s New in the Guidelines? August 16, 2021 Hepatitis C Virus/HIV Coinfection • Table 18 of this section has been updated to include recommendations regarding concomitant use of fostemsavir or long acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine with different hepatitis C treatment regimens. June 3, 2021 What to Start • Since the release of the last guidelines, updated data from the Botswana Tsepamo study have shown that the prevalence of neural tube defects (NTD) associated with dolutegravir (DTG) use during conception is much lower than previously reported. Based on these new data, the Panel now recommends that a DTG-based regimen can be prescribed for most people with HIV who are of childbearing potential. Before initiating a DTG-based regimen, clinicians should discuss the risks and benefits of using DTG with persons of childbearing potential, to allow them to make an informed decision.
