Product Data
Biological target:
Griseofulvin(Gris-PEG; Grifulvin) is a spirocyclic fungal natural product used in treatment of fungal dermatophytes; Antifungal drug.
In vitro activity:
Griseofulvin could inhibit the growth of K562 cells in a dose-dependent manner with a mean (SD) inhibitory concentration of 50% value of 15.38 (1.35) μg/mL compared with untreated controls. Apoptosis was induced in K562 cells (38.35% [2.73%]; P < 0.01) by griseofulvin with the observation of both an increase in phosphatidylserine level and accumulation of chromatin nucleation in griseofulvintreated cells. Reference: Curr Ther Res Clin Exp. 2010 Dec;71(6):384-97. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24688157/
In vivo activity:
Therefore, this study evaluated the potential of griseofulvin in preventing ECM by treating WT-infected C57BL/6 mice from day 4 when the blood parasitemia was around 2%. A single dose of 2 mg/day (comparable with the dosage of humans) administered from day 4 and continued until day 8 showed the best protection. While ~80% of the control mice succumbed to ECM within day 10, >80% of the treated mice were protected from ECM.
