Abacavir acetate (Prurisol; abacavir hydroxyacetate; KM-133) is a potent and orally bioactive inhibitor of IL-20 and PRINS used for the treatment of plaque psoriasis. It can reduce the proliferation rate of skin in psoriasis as an immune modulator, and thus can be used for treating inflammatory skin problems.

Biological Activity
| ln Vivo | In mice, oral abacavir glycolate (10–20 mg/kg) once daily efficiently reduces psoriasis [2]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: 6 to 8 weeks old male and female SCID (severe combined immunodeficient) mouse, implanted with psoriatic tissue [2] Doses: 10 and 20 mg/kg Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); 10-20 mg/kg Primary Experimental Results:Reduction The concentration of PRINS and 1L-20 reduces the area of skin lesions. Shows better results than methotrexate in controlling psoriasis. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ≥ 100 mg/mL (~290.39 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.26 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.26 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
