Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
There is a high degree of variability in the extent of absorption of topically applied chorquinaldol preparations. It is reported to be between 4.2 and 23.5% of the applied dose. This is quite low compared to orally administered preparations which displayed 67.6% absorption in the same study. Chlorquinadol is primarily excreted in the urine as the sulfate form. About 2% is excreted as the parent drug. Metabolism / Metabolites 98% of drug is converted to the sulfate form and renally excreted. |

Additional Infomation |
Chlorquinaldol is a monohydroxyquinoline that is quinolin-8-ol which is substituted by a methyl group at position 2 and by chlorine at positions 5 and 7. An antifungal and antibacterial, it was formerly used for topical treatment of skin conditions and vaginal infections. It has a role as an antibacterial drug, an antiseptic drug and an antiprotozoal drug. It is an organochlorine compound and a monohydroxyquinoline.
Chlorquinaldol was used historically as a topical antiseptic under the trade name Sterosan. It was marketed in the 1950s as an iodine-free alternative which was also unrelated to sulfa drugs or hormones. Chlorquinaldol is currently approved by the European Medicines Agency as a combination tablet with promestriene for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. Chlorquinaldol is a Standardized Chemical Allergen. The physiologic effect of chlorquinaldol is by means of Increased Histamine Release, and Cell-mediated Immunity. Local anti-infective agent used for skin, gastrointestinal, and vaginal infections with fungi, protozoa, and certain bacteria. In animals, it causes central nervous system damage and is not administered parenterally. It is also used as antiseptic, fungistat, or deodorant. Drug Indication Chlorquinaldol was used historically as a topical antiseptic agent for skin infections. It maintains use in European countries as a combination vaginal tablet with promestriene for use in the treatment of vaginal infections. Mechanism of Action The mechanism by which Chlorquinaldol exerts it's bacteriocidal effect is unknown. 8-hydroxyquinolines are known to be bidentate chelators of several metal ions which act as critical enzyme cofactors. However, the addition of exogenous metal ions does not appear to alter the minimum inhibitory concentration for mycobacterium tuberculosis suggesting that the primary mechanism does not rely on chelation. Pharmacodynamics Chlorquinaldol is bacteriocidal in both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. It is more effective in targeting gram positive bacteria, particularly staphylococci. |

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (9.12 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 20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (9.12 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 20.8 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.) |

*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.
Calculation results
Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
