Product Description
Neticonazole HCl is an imidazole analogue and a potent and long-acting antifungal compound/agent. Neticonazole HCl has anti-infectious and anti-cancer effects.
CAS# 130773-02-3. Neticonazole hydrochloride is an imidazole-class antifungal agent with broad-spectrum activity against dermatophytes, yeasts, and other pathogenic fungi. It functions by inhibiting fungal cytochrome P450-dependent 14α-demethylase, an essential enzyme in ergosterol biosynthesis, thereby disrupting cell membrane integrity and inhibiting fungal growth. In addition to its antifungal properties, neticonazole hydrochloride has demonstrated anti-cancer effects, primarily through the modulation of exosome release and related pathways. It has been studied for the treatment of superficial mycoses, including tinea and candidiasis, and is used in Japan as an antifungal drug for treating superficial skin infections.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Neticonazole HCl targets fungal cytochrome P450-dependent 14α-demethylase (lanosterol C-14α-demethylase), a key enzyme in the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway. By inhibiting this enzyme, it prevents the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. In addition to its antifungal target, neticonazole has been shown to modulate exosome secretion pathways, affecting proteins such as Alix, Rab27a, and nSMase2 in cancer cells. This dual targeting of fungal sterol synthesis and mammalian exosome pathways underlies its broad biological activities.
ln Vitro
Treatment with neticonazole (10 μM; 48 h) decreased the levels of Alix and Rab27a and markedly decreased the levels of nSMase2. Significant p-ERK level inhibition is possible with neticonazole [2]. Exosome release from C4-2B cells is potently and dose-dependently inhibited by neticonazole (0–10 μM) [2]. Additionally, neticonazole has an aqueous solution-dependent, biogenic wound-active exosome [3].
In vitro, treatment with neticonazole (10 μM; 48 hours) decreased the levels of Alix and Rab27a and markedly decreased the levels of nSMase2 in C4-2B cells. Significant p-ERK level inhibition is also possible with neticonazole. Exosome release from C4-2B cells is potently and dose-dependently inhibited by neticonazole (0–10 μM). The compound has demonstrated anti-infectious effects and aqueous solution-dependent, biogenic wound-active exosome activity. As an imidazole derivative, it serves as a valuable tool for investigating antifungal mechanisms and resistance pathways.
ln Vivo
Neticonazole hydrochloride treatment (1–100 ng/kg; lateral wall tube feeding; once daily; C57BL/6 mice; formulated) increased the contaminating bacterial flora (IDB) cleanup in rats with rectal cancer (CRC) considerably. Tumor xenograft
In vivo, neticonazole hydrochloride treatment (1–100 ng/kg; oral gavage; once daily for 15 days) in C57BL/6 mice significantly improved survival of mice with colorectal cancer xenograft tumors. The treatment also increased the clearance of contaminating bacterial flora in the gut. In a mouse model where animals were given antibiotics and injected with SW480 cells, neticonazole dramatically improved survival of mice with CRC xenograft tumors. These findings suggest that neticonazole's inhibition of exosome release may contribute to its anti-tumor efficacy in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays typically involve assessing the compound's inhibition of cytochrome P450-dependent 14α-demethylase activity. Fungal microsomal preparations are incubated with radiolabeled lanosterol or other sterol substrates in the presence of neticonazole, and the conversion to ergosterol is measured by chromatographic methods. IC50 values for enzyme inhibition can be determined by quantifying the accumulation of 14α-methylated sterols. The compound's binding affinity to the enzyme's active site can be evaluated using spectrophotometric assays that measure the interaction with the heme iron of the cytochrome P450 enzyme.
Cell Assay
Western Blot Analysis[2]
Cell Types: C4 -2B Cell
Tested Concentrations: 10 µM
Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: diminished Alix and Rab27a levels, and Dramatically diminished nSMase2 levels.
Neticonazole is evaluated in cell-based assays using fungal and mammalian cell lines. For antifungal activity, broth microdilution assays are performed according to CLSI guidelines to determine minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against various fungal strains including dermatophytes and Candida species. For anti-cancer activity, C4-2B prostate cancer cells or other cancer cell lines are treated with neticonazole (0–10 μM) for 48 hours, followed by Western blot analysis to assess protein levels of Alix, Rab27a, and nSMase2. Exosome release is quantified by nanoparticle tracking analysis or by measuring exosomal markers in conditioned media.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male C57BL/6 mice (8 weeks old) were given ampicillin, neomycin, metronidazole and vancomycin, and injected with SW480 cells [3].
Doses: 1 ng/kg, 10 ng/kg, and 100 ng/kg
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); daily; for 15 days
Experimental Results: Dramatically improved survival of IDB mice with CRC xenograft tumors.
In vivo animal studies typically use mouse models. In a colorectal cancer xenograft model, male C57BL/6 mice (8 weeks old) are first administered antibiotics (ampicillin, neomycin, metronidazole, vancomycin) to deplete the gut microbiota, then injected with SW480 cancer cells. Neticonazole hydrochloride is administered orally at doses of 1, 10, or 100 ng/kg once daily for 15 days. Endpoints include survival analysis, tumor growth measurement, and assessment of gut bacterial flora clearance. Alternative models include topical application for superficial fungal infection studies.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of neticonazole hydrochloride are not extensively documented in publicly available literature. As a topical and oral antifungal agent, it is characterized by long-acting properties. The compound has a molecular weight of 338.90 g/mol and a logP of 5.463, indicating high lipophilicity. It is a hydrochloride salt formed by reacting equimolar amounts of neticonazole with hydrogen chloride. For research use, the compound is typically stored at -20°C and formulated in appropriate vehicles for in vivo administration.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Neticonazole hydrochloride is generally well-tolerated at research doses. In mouse studies, oral administration at doses up to 100 ng/kg for 15 days did not report significant adverse effects. As an imidazole antifungal, it may share class-related toxicities including potential hepatotoxicity and drug-drug interactions mediated by cytochrome P450 inhibition. However, specific toxicological data for neticonazole hydrochloride in preclinical models are limited in publicly available sources. For research use only, not for therapeutic or human use.
