Featured New

Description:

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

Perhexiline is a prophylactic antianginal agent. Perhexiline is thought to act by inhibiting mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1. This shifts myocardial metabolism from fatty acid to glucose utilisation which results in increased ATP production for the same O2 consumption and consequently increases myocardial efficiency. Its clinical use has been limited by its narrow therapeutic index and high inter- and intra-individual pharmacokinetic variability.

More Info
It was outlawed in many countries due to its adverse effects on poor metabolisers (PM). The product has been reintroduced for patients who have contraindications, or have not responded to other treatments for angina.
Biological target:
Perhexiline maleate is an orally active CPT1 and CPT2 inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
In primary human hepatocytes, HepaRG cells, and HepG2 cells, perhexiline induced cell death in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Perhexiline treatment also caused a significant increase in caspase 3/7 activity at 2 h and 4 h. Pretreatment with specific caspase inhibitors suggested that both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways contributed to perhexiline-induced cytotoxicity, which was confirmed by increased expression of TNF-α, cleavage of caspase 3 and 9 upon perhexiline treatment. Moreover, perhexiline caused mitochondrial dysfunction, demonstrated by the classic glucose-galactose assay at 4 h and 24 h. Results from JC-1 staining suggested perhexiline caused loss of mitochondrial potential. Reference: Toxicol In Vitro. 2020 Dec;69:104987. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32861758/
In vivo activity:
As shown in Figure 6a–6b, there was a significant decrease in leukemia cell counts in all mice after drug treatment (P<0.01). Importantly, flow cytometry analysis of the cell for expression of CD5 and IgM revealed that 59% of the cells were CD5+/IgM+ leukemia cells in the pre-treatment samples, whereas only 0.9% cells were CD5+/IgM+ after drug treatment (Figure 6c), indicating that the leukemia cell population (CD5+/IgM+ population) were selectively eliminated in vivo by Perhexiline, with most (99%) of the remaining cells were CD5/IgM negative cells.
