Product Description
Cycloguanil is a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, and is a metabolite of the antimalarial drug proguanil; its formation in vivo has been thought to be primarily responsible for the antimalarial activity of proguanil. However, more recent work has indicated that, while proguanil is synergistic with the drug atovaquone (as in the combination Malarone), cycloguanil is in fact antagonistic to the effects of atovaquone, suggesting that, unlike cycloguanil, proguanil may have an alternative mechanism of antimalarial action besides dihydrofolate reductase inhibition.
Cycloguanil HCl (Cycloguanil hydrochloride) is the hydrochloride salt of cycloguanil, an active metabolite of the antimalarial drug proguanil. It is a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor and is used as an antimalarial agent. Cycloguanil HCl has a molecular formula of C11H15Cl2N5, a molecular weight of 288.18 g/mol, and a CAS number of 152-53-4.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cycloguanil targets dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), an enzyme essential for the synthesis of tetrahydrofolate, a cofactor required for DNA synthesis. By inhibiting DHFR, cycloguanil depletes tetrahydrofolate levels, leading to reduced synthesis of thymidylate and purines, and ultimately inhibiting DNA replication and cell division in Plasmodium parasites.
ln Vitro
In vitro, cycloguanil is a DHFR inhibitor with antimalarial activity against Plasmodium parasites. Its activity is assessed by measuring DHFR inhibition in enzyme assays and by assessing parasite growth inhibition in cell-based assays. The compound is the active metabolite of the antimalarial drug proguanil.
ln Vivo
In vivo, cycloguanil is formed as a metabolite of proguanil and is responsible for the antimalarial activity of the parent drug. It is used in combination with other antimalarial agents such as atovaquone for the treatment of Plasmodium infections. The compound's DHFR inhibition leads to parasite death and clearance of infection.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for cycloguanil measure its inhibition of DHFR activity. The enzyme is incubated with dihydrofolate substrate and NADPH in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound. The production of tetrahydrofolate is measured spectrophotometrically or by HPLC. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for cycloguanil use Plasmodium parasite cultures to assess antimalarial activity. Parasites are cultured in appropriate media and exposed to serial dilutions of the compound. Parasite growth inhibition is measured by assessing parasite viability or by quantifying parasite DNA. EC50 values are determined from dose-response curves.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal models for cycloguanil include mouse models of malaria infection. Animals are infected with Plasmodium parasites and treated with cycloguanil or proguanil at various doses. Efficacy is evaluated by measuring parasitemia, survival rates, and clinical signs of infection. Pharmacokinetic studies measure drug exposure and metabolite formation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Cycloguanil HCl has a molecular formula of C11H15Cl2N5 and a molecular weight of 288.18 g/mol. It is also known as Cycloguanil hydrochloride and has the IUPAC name 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine;hydrochloride. The compound has a purity of ≥98% and is stored under appropriate conditions for research use.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of cycloguanil includes the potential for adverse effects associated with DHFR inhibition, including folate depletion and hematological toxicity. The compound is for research use only and is not approved for clinical use as a single agent. Appropriate safety precautions should be taken during handling.
