Product Data
Biological target:
Robenidine hydrochloride is a coccidiostat and antibiotic.
In vitro activity:
Robenidine displays a promising and broadly effective antifungal strategy. Physiological concentration of robenidine was able to significantly inhibit yeast cell growth, filamentation, and biofilm formation of Candida albicans. Robenidine-treated C. albicans cells were hypersensitive to diverse cell wall stressors. Analysis of the cell wall structure showed that the cell wall was severely damaged by robenidine Reference: Front Microbiol. 2020 Jun 3;11:996. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32582050/
In vivo activity:
This study supports robenidine as a valid candidate for further development to treat multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. In a bioluminescent S. aureus sepsis challenge model, mice that received robenidine exhibited significantly reduced bacterial loads, longer survival times, and higher overall survival rates than the vehicle-only treated mice.
