Biological Description

Storage & Solubility Information
Description Sorivudine (BV-araU) has antiviral activity against several viruses including varicella zoster virus, herpes simplex type 1 virus, and Epstein-Barr virus by interfering with viral DNA synthesis.
In vitro Sorivudine inhibits strains of HSV-1 and HSV-2 (ID50s (50% inhibitory dose): 0.39 and 0.67 μM, respectively). Sorivudine has antiviral activity against several viruses including varicella-zoster virus, herpes simplex type 1 virus, and Epstein-Barr virus. Sorivudine has in vitro inhibitory activity against the varicella-zoster virus at concentrations of 00001-0.004 mg/ml. These concentrations are over 1000-fold lower than those which are required for the inhibition of VZV replication by acyclovir 3 Sorivudine also inhibits HSV-I replication at concentrations ranging from 0.03-0.1 mg/ml [1][2].
In vivo Sorivudine has been evaluated in the treatment of HSV-l encephalitis when administered orally to mice. The survival of treated mice is prolonged at dosages in excess of 12.5 mg/kg. A significant decrease in mortality was achieved as well with doses in excess of 50 mg/kg. Sorivudine therapy at dosages as low as 20 mg/kg per day given intramuscularly or 100 mg/kg per day administered orally completely protected against viremia and mortality. There was no evidence of neurotoxicity or abnormalities in hematology or clinical chemistries. Doses as low as 0.2 mg/kg per day were effective; however, breakthrough viremia was noted at lower dosages [2].

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the

  • Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution
The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 100 microliter (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (start) box

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed n the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
