| Targets |
Piperaquine targets the Plasmodium parasite, specifically the intraerythrocytic stages of the malaria parasite. The compound's mechanism involves inhibition of heme detoxification, leading to the accumulation of toxic heme within the parasite and subsequent parasite death. Piperaquine is effective against chloroquine-resistant strains of P. falciparum.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Piperaquine phosphate demonstrates in vitro antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum. It is effective against chloroquine-resistant strains. The compound's activity is assessed in vitro using parasite growth inhibition assays, where IC50 values are determined against various P. falciparum strains.
|
| ln Vivo |
In mice, piperaquine (10-90 mg/kg; single ip) reduces parasitemia at all tested doses[1]. In mice with malaria, piperaquine (90 mg/kg; single ip) shows the following characteristics: in healthy mice, the t1/2, apparent clearance, and apparent volume of distribution are 17.8 days, 33.5 mg·h/L, 1.55 L/h/kg, and 956 L/kg, respectively, whereas in infected mice, they are 16.1 days, 27.3 mg·h/L, 1.9 L/h/kg, and 1,059 L/kg[1].
Piperaquine phosphate demonstrates in vivo efficacy in the treatment of malaria. It is used in combination with dihydroartemisinin as an artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria. The compound is effective against Plasmodium falciparum infections. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for piperaquine are not typically performed, as the compound's mechanism involves inhibition of heme detoxification. Antimalarial activity is assessed using parasite growth inhibition assays against P. falciparum cultures. The compound's ability to inhibit heme polymerization can be measured using in vitro heme detoxification assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for piperaquine phosphate involve culturing P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound. Antimalarial activity is assessed by measuring parasite growth inhibition using fluorescence-based or microscopy-based readouts. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves.

*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.
