Febrifugine dihydrochloride (ISF2123; Pildralazine HCl) is the dihydrochloride salt form of the naturally occurring quinazolinone alkaloid febrifugine, which is extracted from the roots and leaves of Dichroa febrifuga. It exhibits antimalarial activity and has been studied for potential therapeutic applications in malaria, cancer, fibrosis, and inflammatory diseases. It has a molecular weight of 374.26 and a molecular formula of C16H21Cl2N3O3. The compound is a white to off-white solid.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Febrifugine dihydrochloride, like its parent compound febrifugine, exhibits antimalarial activity against Plasmodium species. Its exact molecular target is not fully elucidated, but it is believed to inhibit protein synthesis in the malaria parasite. The compound also shows potential therapeutic activity regarding cancer, fibrosis, and inflammatory diseases. As a quinazolinone alkaloid, it serves as a lead scaffold for antimalarial drug discovery.
ln Vitro
Febrifugine dihydrochloride demonstrates in vitro antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum. The compound's activity can be assessed in parasite cultures by measuring growth inhibition. Its cytotoxicity and selectivity can be evaluated in mammalian cell lines. The compound's biological activity has been characterized in various in vitro assays, supporting its potential as an antimalarial agent and its utility as a lead compound for medicinal chemistry optimization.
ln Vivo
Febrifugine dihydrochloride has been studied in vivo for its antimalarial and other therapeutic activities. As a salt form of febrifugine, it is expected to have improved aqueous solubility and bioavailability compared to the free base. The compound has been evaluated in animal models of malaria, where it reduces parasitemia and mortality. Its therapeutic potential in cancer, fibrosis, and inflammatory diseases has also been investigated in preclinical models.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular enzyme assays for febrifugine dihydrochloride are limited as its precise molecular target is not fully characterized. The compound's antimalarial activity can be assessed in cell-free systems by measuring its effect on parasite protein synthesis or other biochemical processes. Its interaction with potential molecular targets can be studied using affinity chromatography or surface plasmon resonance (SPR) approaches. The compound's physicochemical properties, including solubility and stability, can be characterized using standard analytical techniques.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for febrifugine dihydrochloride involve treating Plasmodium falciparum cultures with the compound and assessing parasite growth inhibition. Cultures are incubated with varying concentrations of the compound for 48-72 hours, and parasite viability is measured using a [³H]-hypoxanthine incorporation assay or by microscopy to count parasitemia. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves. Cytotoxicity is assessed in mammalian cell lines using MTT or CellTiter-Glo® assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with febrifugine dihydrochloride are conducted in murine malaria models. Mice infected with Plasmodium are treated with the compound via oral or intraperitoneal administration. Parasitemia is monitored by blood smears, and survival rates are recorded. The compound's efficacy and toxicity are assessed, and its pharmacokinetic properties are characterized. Studies in models of cancer, fibrosis, and inflammatory diseases have also been conducted to evaluate its broader therapeutic potential.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Febrifugine dihydrochloride has a molecular weight of 374.26 and a molecular formula of C16H21Cl2N3O3. It is a white to off-white solid at room temperature. The compound is soluble in water (15 mg/mL) and is typically stored as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years or at 4°C for 2 years. Purity is typically ≥98%. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions and is protected from light and moisture.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Febrifugine dihydrochloride is a research compound for laboratory use only and is not intended for human therapeutic or diagnostic use. As a salt form of febrifugine, it retains the hepatotoxicity and emetic side effects associated with the parent compound. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound, as it may cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. The compound should be handled in a well-ventilated area with appropriate personal protective equipment.

  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
