Product Description
Purfalcamine is an orally bioactive, selective Plasmodium falciparum calcium-dependent protein kinase 1 (PfCDPK1) inhibitor (antagonist) with IC50 of 17 nM and EC50 of 230 nM. Purfalcamine has antimalarial activity and causes developmental arrest of Plasmodium at the schizont stage.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Plasmodium Toxoplasma
ln Vitro
Purfalcamine exhibits minimal efficacy against the calcium-dependent protein kinase 3 (TgCDPK3) of Toxoplasma gondii [1]. For the first 32 hours, purfalcamine (225, 450 nM) has no effect on the parasitemia. The parasite level stays constant for almost 40 hours before starting to decline[1]. For P. falciparum strains (3D7, Dd2, FCB, HB3, and W2), purfalcamine inhibits proliferation with EC50s of 171-259 nM, indicating efficacy against drug-resistant parasites[1]. Purfalcamine exhibits a therapeutic window extending from 23-fold to 36-fold (EC50s for CHO=12.33 μM, HEp2=7.235 μM, HeLa=7.029 μM, and Huh7=5.476 μM), because the EC50 value for P. falciparum (3D7) is 230 nM[1].
ln Vivo
In treated mice, purfalcamine (10 mg/kg; oral gavage; BID; for 6 days) shows a delay in the development of parasitemia[1]. The half-life of purfalcamine (20 mg/kg; oral gavage) is 3.1 hours, and its Cmax is 2.6 μM[1].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse:, 7 weeks of age with the malaria parasite[1]
Doses: 10 mg /kg
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); BID; for 6 days
Experimental Results: Demonstrated a delay in the onset of parasitemia in treated mice when compared with control mice.

Animal/Disease Models: Five- to sixweeks old male balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse: (22- 25 g)[1]
Doses: 20 mg/kg (pharmacokinetic/PK Analysis)
Route of Administration: Orally gavage
Experimental Results: demonstrated a maximum plasma exposure (Cmax) of 2.6 μM with a half-life of 3.1 hrs (hours).

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : 12.5 mg/mL (23.65 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.36 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% 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 12.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.36 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 12.5 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 3: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.36 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 12.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
