| Targets |
Fantofarone targets L-type calcium channels (voltage-gated calcium channels, Cav1.2), which are critical for calcium influx in cardiac and smooth muscle cells. As a non-competitive antagonist, fantofarone binds to a site distinct from the dihydropyridine binding site on the calcium channel. This mechanism provides potent inhibition of calcium currents and may offer advantages in terms of use-dependence and reduced side effects.

| ln Vitro |
Compared to CQ, the intrinsic antimalarial characteristics of the calcium channel blockers VIZ and Fantofarone (SR) are evidently weaker, and they both seem to be marginally more effective against CQ-resistant parasites than against CQ-sensitive parasites. Strength. Interestingly, Fantofarone was approx. Ten times as powerful than elavil. When it comes to two strains of P. fdciparum, fantofarone (SR) is ten times more effective than the phenylalkylamine verapamil (VR). Both calcium channel blockers, with verapamil being two to three times more powerful than Fantofarone, increased the CQ-sensitive activity of CQ-resistant P. fufcipurum strains, as demonstrated by isobolograms. Additionally, when taken with identical IC50 subinhibitory fractions, VR reduces CQ resistance 2–3 times more effectively than Fantofarone [1].
In vitro, fantofarone potently inhibits L-type calcium channel currents in a non-competitive manner. The compound shows use-dependent blockade, with greater inhibition at higher stimulation frequencies. Fantofarone's effects on calcium currents have been characterized in isolated cardiac myocytes and smooth muscle cells using patch-clamp electrophysiology. The compound also exhibits anti-arrhythmic properties in various in vitro models. |
| ln Vivo |
Treatment with ventofalone (50 mg/kg, intravenous) or isosorbide dinitrate (0.3 mg/kg, intravenous) decreased the incidence and severity of vasospasm, while verapamil (0.2 mg/kg, intravenous injection) is far less effective. Isosorbide dinitrate largely prevented distal AIV, but it had no discernible effect on proximal diameter reduction. Fantofarone was found to be the most efficient drug in reducing both proximal and distal vasospasm. Throughout the experiment, this compound greatly decreased AIV. There is no discernible decrease in AIV with verapamil[2].
In vivo, fantofarone has demonstrated cardiovascular effects including vasodilation and negative inotropic effects. The compound's calcium channel blocking activity reduces peripheral vascular resistance and cardiac contractility. Fantofarone has been studied for its potential anti-arrhythmic and antihypertensive effects in animal models. The compound's non-competitive mechanism may offer advantages over competitive calcium channel blockers. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular receptor binding assays for fantofarone involve competitive radioligand binding displacement studies using membrane preparations from tissues expressing L-type calcium channels. Membranes are incubated with a radiolabeled calcium channel ligand (e.g., [³H]nitrendipine or [³H]desmethoxyverapamil) and varying concentrations of fantofarone. Following incubation and filtration, bound radioactivity is measured. IC₅₀ values are determined from displacement curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for fantofarone involve treating isolated cardiac myocytes or cells expressing L-type calcium channels with the compound and measuring calcium channel activity using patch-clamp electrophysiology. Whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings are performed to assess the inhibition of calcium currents. Cells are depolarized to various test potentials in the presence of increasing concentrations of fantofarone. The reduction in peak calcium current amplitude is quantified.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with fantofarone are conducted in rodent and canine models of cardiovascular disease. Animals are treated with fantofarone via oral or intravenous administration, and hemodynamic parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac output are measured. In models of arrhythmia, the compound's effects on arrhythmia induction and termination are assessed. Pharmacokinetic studies characterize absorption and distribution.
