Product Data
Biological target:
Decoquinate is a quinolone derivative that can be used for research of coccidiosis in domestic ruminants and has potent activity against both Plasmodium hepatic development and red cell replication.
In vitro activity:
First, it was hypothesized that if cytochrome bc1 complex were the target, decoquinate, like atovaquone, would be active in hepatic stages of the parasite. Sporozoites were assayed for their ability to develop within human hepatocytes expressing murine CD81, an essential surface protein required by the parasite for successful invasion. Decoquinate showed a 10-fold increase in activity over atovaquone with an IC50 value of 177 pM (Figure 2, panel c) supporting the hypothesis that decoquinate shares properties with atovaquone, including inhibition of the cytochrome bc1 complex. In contrast, the DMSO control had no effect on parasite or hepatocyte proliferation. Additionally, a >180-fold shift in the IC50 of decoquinate was observed in the ScDHOD-D10attB line (Table 3) indicating that the primary mode of action for decoquinate is inhibition of the mitochondrial ETC. Reference: ACS Chem Biol. 2011 Nov 18; 6(11): 1214–1222. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3220786/
In vivo activity:
Decoquinate was used in an animal prophylaxis test in which mice are given a single 50 mg kg–1 oral dose at the same time as receiving 50,000 P. yoelii sporozoites injected intravenously. Four of five mice treated with decoquinate survived, whereas one developed delayed patent parasitemia on day 7 (Table 2). All five untreated mice developed patent parasitemia within 3 days and needed to be euthanized at day 7.
