| Targets |
The primary target of Arterolane is the parasite's hemoglobin digestion process. Ozonides are activated by heme iron in the parasite's digestive vacuole, leading to the generation of reactive carbon radicals that alkylate essential parasite proteins. This results in rapid parasite killing. Arterolane has a unique mechanism that is distinct from artemisinin derivatives, potentially overcoming resistance to artemisinin-based therapies.

| ln Vitro |
Arterolane (Trioxolane 7; OZ277; RBx-11160) is an antimalarial medication with IC50 values of 1.1 nM (0.43 ng/mL) for P. falciparum Ro73 and W2, respectively. Arterolane also inhibited several other Plasmodium falciparum species, with IC50 values of 1.0, 1.6, 0.90, 0.91, 1.4, 1.5, 0.83, and 0.84 ng/mL for P. falciparum K1, Fc27, FVO, NF54, HB3, and FCB1. They are ITG2-F6 and MAD20[1], respectively.
In vitro, Arterolane demonstrates potent antiplasmodial activity with IC₅₀ values in the single-digit nanomolar range against both chloroquine-sensitive and -resistant strains. It is active against all asexual blood stages of the parasite. In drug combination studies, it shows synergistic effects with other antimalarials like piperaquine. Its activity is measured using standard parasite growth inhibition assays with [³H]hypoxanthine incorporation. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Arterolane has shown excellent efficacy in mouse models of malaria. Oral administration at low doses completely clears parasitemia in P. berghei-infected mice. It also has a long duration of action, with single doses providing cure in some models. In human clinical trials, it has demonstrated efficacy and safety, and it is often combined with piperaquine to prevent resistance.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Arterolane are not typical, as it acts via a non-specific chemical mechanism. However, its activation by heme can be studied in vitro by measuring the production of reactive intermediates using spin trapping or mass spectrometry. The compound's stability in the presence of heme can be assessed.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for Arterolane involve culturing P. falciparum in red blood cells and measuring parasite growth inhibition. Serial dilutions of the compound are added to synchronized parasite cultures, and after incubation, [³H]hypoxanthine incorporation is measured to determine IC₅₀ values. Cytotoxicity against mammalian cell lines (e.g., HepG2, HEK293) is assessed to evaluate selectivity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for Arterolane utilize mouse models of malaria. Mice are infected with P. berghei or P. yoelii, and the compound is administered orally at various doses. Parasitemia is monitored by blood smears, and survival is recorded. The compound's efficacy is compared to standard treatments like artemether-lumefantrine. Pharmacokinetic studies are often conducted concurrently.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The pharmacokinetic properties of Arterolane are characterized by excellent oral bioavailability and a long half-life (approximately 20-30 hours in humans). It is metabolized primarily by CYP3A4. The compound is highly protein-bound. Its long half-life allows for single-dose or once-daily dosing regimens. Storage is at -20°C.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of Arterolane is generally favorable in preclinical studies, with no significant adverse effects at therapeutic doses. It does not show neurotoxicity or cardiotoxicity. However, as with all antimalarials, mild gastrointestinal side effects have been reported. The compound is for research use and is being evaluated in clinical trials.

| Additional Infomation |
Arterolane is an oxaspirocyclic compound with the structure dispiro[cyclohexane-1,3'-[1,2,4]trioxacyclopentane-5',2''-tricyclo[3.3.1.1(3,7)]decane], substituted at the 4S position with 2-[(2-amino-2-methylpropyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl. Its maleate salt, in combination with piperaquine, is used as an antimalarial drug. It exhibits dual antimalarial and anti-malarial parasite activity. Arterolane belongs to the adamantane class, secondary amide class, primary amine class, trioxacyclopentane class, and oxaspirocyclic class. It is the conjugate base of Arterolane(1+).
Additional information: Arterolane is also known as OZ439 and artefenomel. It is a synthetic ozonide developed by the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV). It has completed Phase IIb clinical trials. This product is for research use only and is not approved for clinical or therapeutic applications. |
