Danoprevir

A stock solution may be made by dissolving the danoprevir in the solvent of choice. Danoprevir is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide (DMF), which should be purged with an inert gas. The solubility of danoprevir in these solvents is approximately 15, 25, and 30 mg/ml, respectively. Danoprevir is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers. For maximum solubility in aqueous buffers, danoprevir should first be dissolved in DMF and then diluted with the aqueous buffer of choice. Danoprevir has a solubility of approximately 0.2 mg/ml in a 1:4 solution of DMF:PBS (pH 7.2) using this method. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day.
