| 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.

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 (7.22 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 20.8 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. View More

*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.
