| Targets |
WR99210's primary target is dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), a key enzyme in the folate biosynthesis pathway. By inhibiting DHFR, it disrupts the folate pathway essential for parasite DNA synthesis and cell replication, effectively inhibiting parasite growth. The compound has subnanomolar potency for wild-type, double mutant, and quadruple mutant dihydrofolate reductases, making it effective against pyrimethamine-resistant strains. Its efficacy against DHFR mutants makes it invaluable for studying drug-resistant malaria strains and exploring new antimalarial strategies.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In tissue culture, WR99210 (0-100 nM; 92 h) is very effective against Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites [1]. Human foreskin fibroblasts are not cytotoxically affected by WR99210 (0-100 nM; 92 h) [1].
In vitro, WR99210 is a potent inhibitor of DHFR with an IC50 of <0.075 nM. It is effective against the most pyrimethamine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains. The compound shows good antiparasitic activity against Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum (including pyrimethamine-resistant strains) as well as Toxoplasma gondii. Its subnanomolar potency for wild-type, double mutant, and quadruple mutant DHFRs demonstrates its broad efficacy against different parasite strains. |
| ln Vivo |
WR99210 (1.25 mg/kg; i.p.; once daily for 5 days) is highly effective against Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites in a mouse model [1].
In vivo, WR99210 is orally active and has low toxicity. It has been studied for its antimalarial activity in animal models. Its oral bioavailability and low toxicity make it a promising candidate for antimalarial therapy. The compound's efficacy against pyrimethamine-resistant strains suggests that it could be a valuable alternative to existing antimalarial drugs. However, specific in vivo efficacy data is not detailed in the provided search results. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro activity of WR99210 is assessed using cell-free DHFR enzyme inhibition assays. Recombinant Plasmodium falciparum DHFR (wild-type and mutant forms) is incubated with its substrate (dihydrofolate) and cofactor (NADPH) in the presence of varying concentrations of WR99210. The reduction of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate is measured spectrophotometrically by monitoring the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm. The IC50 is determined from the inhibition curve. For selectivity studies, the compound is tested against mammalian DHFR to assess selectivity.

| Cell Assay |
Cell viability assay [1]
Cell Types: human foreskin fibroblasts (Toxoplasma gondii infection) Tested Concentrations: 0-100 nM Incubation Duration: 92 h Experimental Results: It has a significant inhibitory effect on Toxoplasma gondii, with an IC50 value of approximately 50 nM. Cytotoxicity assay[1] Cell Types: Human foreskin fibroblasts Tested Concentrations: 0-100 nM Incubation Duration: 92 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: No toxicity to fibroblasts. For cellular assays, Plasmodium falciparum cultures are used. Parasites are cultured in human erythrocytes in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with Albumax or serum. Cultures are treated with various concentrations of WR99210 (typically 0.01-100 nM) for 48-72 hours. Parasite growth is assessed by measuring the incorporation of [³H]hypoxanthine or by microscopy using Giemsa-stained smears. The IC50 is determined from dose-response curves. For cytotoxicity studies, mammalian cell lines are treated with WR99210, and cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male mice (Toxoplasma gondii infection) [1].
Doses: 1.25 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; single dose per day for 5 days. Experimental Results: On day 5, the number of parasites in the abdominal cavity of mice diminished by 2 logs. In vivo, WR99210 is typically administered orally or intraperitoneally to animal models of malaria. Mice are infected with Plasmodium berghei or Plasmodium yoelii, and WR99210 is administered at various doses (typically 1-50 mg/kg) for 4 days. The efficacy is assessed by measuring parasitemia in blood smears on day 4 or by measuring survival over time. The ED50 and ED90 are calculated from dose-response curves. In toxicological studies, the compound is administered at various doses, and body weight, clinical signs, and histopathology are assessed. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
WR99210 is orally active. It has a molecular weight of 394.68 g/mol and a molecular formula of C14H18Cl3N5O2. The compound is soluble in DMSO. Specific pharmacokinetic data (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) is not available in the provided search results. Its bioavailability and half-life would require further investigation. The compound should be stored under appropriate conditions to maintain stability.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
WR99210 has low toxicity. In animal studies, it is well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. The compound's selectivity for parasite DHFR over mammalian DHFR contributes to its favorable safety profile. However, comprehensive toxicological studies are required to establish its full safety profile. The compound should be handled with standard laboratory safety precautions.
