Cas No.:154598-52-4
Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). Efavirenz non-competitively inhibits the transcriptional (Ki=2.93nM) and replication (IC95=2.93nM) activity of HIV-1, thereby blocking viral replication. Efavirenz can be used in antiviral and anticancer research[1-4].
In vitro, Efavirenz (23.32–27.89μM) was used to treat triple-negative breast cancer cell lines MCF10AT, MCF10CA1α, and MDA-MB-231 for 4 days. Efavirenz significantly inhibited cell proliferation, reduced cell division, promoted apoptosis and necrosis, and induced a shift in cell morphology toward an epithelial-like phenotype[5]. Efavirenz (1.5μM) in combination with metformin (5 mM) and fluoxetine (0.9μM) was used to treat HCT116 human colon cancer cells for 24–96 hours. Efavirenz significantly increased cellular ROS levels, leading to cell death, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I and III activities, while increasing the expression of factors related to DNA damage, apoptosis, autophagy, and necroptosis[6].
In vivo, Efavirenz (10mg/kg) was orally administered to CD1 male mice for 36 days. Efavirenz significantly caused body weight loss and induced depression-like and anxiety-like behaviors[7]. Efavirenz (10mg/kg) was orally administered to CD1 male mice for 36 days. Efavirenz significantly led to body weight loss and increased the expression of appetite-related hormones[8].

Efavirenz是一种非核苷逆转录酶抑制剂(NNRTI)。Efavirenz可非竞争性地抑制HIV-1的逆转(Ki=2.93nM)和复制(IC95=2.93nM)活性,从而阻断病毒复制。Efavirenz可用于抗病毒、抗癌症的相关研究[1-4]。
在体外,Efavirenz(23.32–27.89μM)处理三阴性乳腺癌细胞系MCF10AT、MCF10CA1α和MDA-MB-231 4天。Efavirenz显著抑制细胞增殖,减少细胞分裂,促进细胞凋亡和坏死,同时诱导细胞形态向上皮样表型分化[5]。Efavirenz(1.5μM)与metformin(5mM)和fluoxetine(0.9μM)组合处理HCT116人结肠癌细胞24-96小时。Efavirenz显著增加细胞ROS水平,导致细胞死亡,降低线粒体膜电位和线粒体电子传递链复合物I和III活性,同时增加DNA损伤、凋亡、自噬和坏死性凋亡相关因子的表达[6]。
在体内,Efavirenz(10mg/kg)口服给药于CD1雄性小鼠,持续36天。Efavirenz显著导致体重减轻并诱发抑郁样和焦虑样行为[7]。Efavirenz(10mg/kg)口服于CD1雄性小鼠,持续36天。Efavirenz显著导致体重减轻并增加食欲相关激素表达[8]。
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | MCF10AT, MCF10CA1α, MDA-MB-231 (triple-negative breast cancer cell lines) and MCF10A (non-cancerous breast epithelial cell line) |
Preparation Method | MCF10A, MCF10AT and MCF10CA1α cells were cultured in DMEM/F-12 medium supplemented with 5% horse serum, 10μg/ml insulin, 20ng/ml epidermal growth factor, 0.5μg/ml hydrocortisone, and 100ng/ml cholera toxin. MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in DMEM medium with 10% fetal bovine serum. All cells were maintained at 37°C with 5% CO₂. Cells were treated with Efavirenz (23.32–27.89μM). |
Reaction Conditions | 23.32–27.89μM; 4 days |
Applications | Efavirenz caused cell death, retarded cell proliferation, and changed cell morphology to an epithelial-like phenotype in TNBC cell lines. Efavirenz also inhibited LINE-1 reverse transcriptase activity and downregulated fatty acid metabolism-associated genes (including SCD, ACSL5, FASN, ACSL3, FADS1, PTPLB and ACACA). |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | CD1 male mice |
Preparation Method | Mice were orally administered Efavirenz (10mg/kg) or distilled water (control) once daily for 36 days. At the end of treatment, behavioral tests were conducted, and brain tissues were collected for analysis. |
Dosage form | 10mg/kg; oral; once daily for 36 days |
Applications | Efavirenz administration resulted in significant body weight loss and increased food intake. Efavirenz induced depression-like behavior and anxiety-like behavior. Efavirenz also dysregulated Tph2 gene expression in the brainstem, hypothalamus, and amygdala, and increased 5-HT levels in the amygdala. |
