Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Lumefantrine, also known as HSDB 7210, is an antimalarial agent used to treat acute uncomplicated malaria. It is administered in combination with artemether for improved efficacy. This combination therapy exerts its effects against the erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium spp. and may be used to treat infections caused by P. falciparum and unidentified Plasmodium species, including infections acquired in chloroquine-resistant areas.

Biological target:
Lumefantrine is an antimalarial drug, used in combination with Artemether.
In vitro activity:
Based on the connection between Fli-1 expression and radio/TMZ resistance in GBM cells, Fli-1 inhibitors were screened for and identified an antimalarial FDA-approved drug, lumefantrine, as a putative therapeutic agent targeting radio/TMZ resistance in GBM. Phase-contrast microscopy images of lumefantrine-treated U87MG and T98G cells showed morphological changes suggestive of apoptotic cell death (SI Appendix, Fig. S2A, arrows). Lumefantrine inhibited wound healing, migration, infiltration, and anchorageindependent growth in U87MG and T98G cells (SI Appendix, Fig. S2 B–D). In addition, lumefantrine significantly reduced the enzymatic activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in U87MG and T98G cells (SI Appendix, Fig. S2E). A dose-dependent antiproliferative effect was also observed in lumefantrine-treated radio/TMZ-resistant cells (SI Appendix, Fig. S1 D and E). Half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of lumefantrine were 137.2 μM in U87MG RR cells, 73.1 μM in T98G RR cells, 185.3 μM in U87MG TMZR cells, and 120.2 μM in T98G TMZR cells.A direct interaction between lumefantrine and Fli-1 was confirmed by docking of lumefantrine with the DNA-binding domain of the Fli-1 protein (Fig. 2 A–C) and ITC. The chemical structure of lumefantrine is shown in Fig. 2B. The ITC thermogram and fitted binding isotherm (Fig. 2D) displayed the following thermodynamic parameters of lumefantrine’s binding to Fli-1 protein: ΔH (enthalpy), −1.349E4 ± 1,349 cal/mol; ΔS (entropy), −27.8 cal/mol/degree; Kd (dissociation constant), 6.5 μM; and N (stoichiometry), 0.687 ± 0.0496. These studies confirm that lumefantrine affects the in vitro properties of GBM and radio/TMZ-resistant GBM, and that it directly binds to the Fli-1 protein. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2020 Jun 2; 117(22): 12324–12331. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7275698/
In vivo activity:
In order to determine whether lumefantrine treatment enhances Th1 or Th2 cytokine response, IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-10 levels in the serum of mice were determined (Fig. 5). Significantly higher levels of IFN-γ were observed in mice treated with a high concentration lumefantrine compared to the negative control group (P ≤ 0.01), which indicated that high concentration lumefantrine could stimulate the hosts to produce IFN-γ to eliminate T. gondii. Meanwhile, IL-4 and IL-10 were significantly produced in mice treated with a low concentration lumefantrine compared to the negative control group (P ≤ 0.01). The results showed that lumefantrine could adjust the cytokines in hosts to eliminate parasites through the change of drug concentrations. Based on these results in this study, we speculate that lumefantrine may be used to treat toxoplasmosis patients or people who suffer combination infections of T. gondii and Plasmodium clinically.
