Description:
HHV protease inhibitor 43 is an irreversible small molecule inhibitor of human herpesvirus (HHV) protease targeting a non-catalytic cysteine (C161) with IC50 of 4 uM (HCMV), exhibits broad-spectrum inhibition of other HHV protease homologs.HHV protease inhibitor 43 demonstrates inhibitor stabilization of HCMV Pr homodimerization, exploiting a conformational equilibrium to block proteolysis.HHV protease inhibitor 43 causes a dose-dependent decrease in HCMV replication in HFF-1 cells with IC50 of 5 uM, with no significant cytotoxicity (CC50>20 uM).
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,
we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one
month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at
least 1 hour.
