Product Description
l-Atabrine diHCl is the less active enantiomer of quinacrine and displays anti-bacterial effect.
l-Atabrine dihydrochloride (CAS#: 56100-42-6) is the less active enantiomer of quinacrine. It is a synthetic antimalarial agent historically used to prevent and treat malaria. The compound has a molecular formula of C23H31Cl2N3O and a molecular weight of 436.42. As a derivative of acridine, it interferes with parasite DNA, inhibiting its replication within red blood cells.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
l-Atabrine dihydrochloride targets DNA, specifically interfering with parasite DNA replication. As a less active enantiomer of quinacrine, it may also interact with other cellular targets including those involved in prion diseases (antiprion activity). Its mechanism of action involves intercalation into DNA and inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis.
ln Vitro
In vitro, l-Atabrine dihydrochloride is the less active enantiomer of quinacrine and displays anti-bacterial and antiprion activity. Its activity as a DNA intercalator has been characterized in biochemical assays. The compound's reduced activity compared to the d-enantiomer reflects the stereoselectivity of its interactions with biological targets.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of l-Atabrine dihydrochloride is characteristic of quinacrine enantiomers. As a less active enantiomer, its in vivo effects are reduced compared to the d-enantiomer. The compound has been used as an antimalarial agent and has been explored for autoimmune disorders and as an anti-protozoal for giardiasis. However, detailed in vivo data specific to the l-enantiomer are limited.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro DNA binding assay for l-Atabrine dihydrochloride involves measuring its intercalation into DNA. The compound is incubated with calf thymus DNA or plasmid DNA at varying concentrations (typically 0.1-100 uM) in buffer at room temperature. DNA intercalation is assessed by measuring changes in DNA melting temperature, by fluorescence spectroscopy (the compound's fluorescence increases upon intercalation), or by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The compound's ability to inhibit DNA polymerase or nucleic acid synthesis can also be measured using radioactive nucleotide incorporation assays.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for l-Atabrine dihydrochloride are conducted using malaria parasite cultures or cancer cell lines. For antimalarial studies, Plasmodium falciparum cultures are treated with varying concentrations of l-Atabrine (typically 0.01-100 uM) for 48-72 hours, and parasite growth is assessed by microscopy or by measuring lactate dehydrogenase activity. For antiprion studies, prion-infected cell lines are treated with the compound and prion protein levels are measured by Western blotting. Cell viability is monitored using MTT or similar assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for l-Atabrine dihydrochloride are not extensively documented. As a less active enantiomer of quinacrine, typical studies would involve administration to rodents in models of malaria or prion disease. The compound would be administered by oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection. Parasite load or prion protein levels would be measured. However, detailed protocols specific to the l-enantiomer are not available in the published literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of l-Atabrine dihydrochloride are characteristic of quinacrine enantiomers. The compound has a molecular weight of 436.42 and a molecular formula of C23H31Cl2N3O. As a small, lipophilic acridine derivative, it is expected to have good oral bioavailability and extensive tissue distribution. The compound is a less active enantiomer and may have different pharmacokinetic properties compared to the d-enantiomer. Detailed ADME parameters are not extensively documented.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological profile of l-Atabrine dihydrochloride is characteristic of acridine derivatives. As a DNA intercalator, the compound may have genotoxic potential. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound in a laboratory setting. No specific LD50 values have been reported.

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • 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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
