[Abstract]
Live-cell fluorescence imaging of infected cells of Oseltamivir-resistant virus. MDCK cells are infected with Oseltamivir-resistant 738 and -sensitive 838. After incubation at 37°C for 12 hr, the cells are incubated with BTP3-Neu5Ac with or without Oseltamivir or Zanamivir (each 100 nM for final concentrations) in an SFM at 37°C for 10 min. Fluorescent images of the cells are observed under UV irradiation by using a fluorescence microscope. A scale bar indicates 200 μm.

Description
Oseltamivir acid (GS 4071), the active metabolite of Oseltamivir phosphate, is an orally bioavailable, potent and selective inhibitor of influenza virus neuraminidase (IC50=2 nM) with activity against both influenza A and B viruses[1][2].
IC50 & Target
IC50: 2 nM (influenza virus neuraminidase)
In Vitro
Oseltamivir acid inhibits virus replication in vitro and in vivo. Influenza B and A/H1N1 viruses appeare to be sensitive to Oseltamivir (mean B IC50 value: 13 nM; mean H1N1 IC50 value: 1.34 nM), while A/H1N2 and A/H3N2 viruses are more sensitive to Oseltamivir (mean H3N2 IC50 value: 0.67 nM; mean H1N2 IC50 value: 0.9 nM)[3].
In neuraminidases inhibition assays with influenza A viruses, the IC50 of RWJ-270201 (approximately 0.34 nM) is comparable to that of Oseltamivir carboxylate (0.45 nM) For influenza B virus isolates, the IC50 of RWJ-270201 (1.36 nM) is comparable to that of Zanamivir (2.7 nM) and less than that of Oseltamivir carboxylate (8.5 nM)[4].

In Vivo
Oseltamivir acid (0.1, 1, or 10 mg/kg/day, twice daily by oral gavage) produces a dose-dependent antiviral effect against Vietnam/1203/04 (VN1203/04) virus. The 5-day regimen at 10 mg/kg/day protects 50% of mice; deaths in this treatment group are delayed and indicated the replication of residual virus after the completion of treatment. Dosages of 1 and 10 mg/kg/day significantly reduced virus titers in organs and provided 60% and 80% survival rates, respectively[5].

*Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (stored under nitrogen). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
*
Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution,
then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.
For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day. The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Protocol 1
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μLDMSO stock solution (57.5 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Protocol 2
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μLDMSO stock solution (57.5 mg/mL) to 900 μLCorn oil, and mix evenly.
For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly.
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time. The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution.
If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation,
heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Animal Administration
[3][4]
Mice[3] Female 6-week-old BALB/c mice are anesthetized with isofluorane and intranasally inoculated with 50 μL of 10-fold serial dilutions of VN1203/04 virus in PBS. The mouse lethal dose (MLD50) is calculated after a 16-day observation period. Oseltamivir is administered by oral gavage twice daily for 5 or 8 days to groups of 10 mice at dosages of 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/kg/day. Control (infected but untreated) mice received sterile PBS (placebo) on the same schedule. Four hours after the first dose of Oseltamivir, the mice are inoculated intranasally with 5 MLD50 of VN1203/04 virus in 50 μL of PBS. Survival and weight change are observed for 24 days. Virus titers in the mouse organs are determined on days 3, 6, and 9 after inoculation. Three mice from each experimental and placebo group are killed, and the lungs and brains are removed. The organs are homogenized and suspended in 1 mL of PBS. The cellular debris is cleared by centrifugation at 2000 g for 5 min. The limit of virus detection is 0.75 log10 EID50. For calculation of the mean, samples with a virus titer <0.75 log10 EID50/mL are assigned a value of 0. Virus titers in each organ are calculated by use of the method of Reed and Muench and are expressed as mean log10 EID50/mL±SE. Rats[4] Several studies are performed to characterize the pharmacokinetics of Oseltamivir and OC in the plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and brain of Sprague-Dawley rats following single-dose bolus administration of Oseltamivir (intravenous [i.v.] and oral) and OC (i.v.). In the i.v. studies, nonfasted adult rats (two groups of 35 animals for each test substance) received a dose of 30 mg/kg body weight of either Oseltamivir or Oseltamivir carboxylate (OC) in aqueous solution with sodium chloride (0.9%; pH 4.0) via slow injection into the tail vein over 20 to 30 s. In both i.v. studies, pharmacokinetic sampling took place at 5 min and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 h postdose (four or five rats/time point).

Do most proteins show cross-species activity?
Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
