Cat. No.: HY-13801 Purity: 99.84%
COA Handling Instructions

Fexinidazole (HOE 239) is an orally active, potent nitroimidazole antitrypanosomal agent. Fexinidazole shows trypanocidal activity against T. brucei subspecies and strains with IC50s of 0.7-3.3 μM (0.2-0.9 μg/ml). Fexinidazol has the potential for human sleeping sickness (HAT) caused by infection with T. brucei.

Description

Fexinidazole (HOE 239) is an orally active, potent nitroimidazole antitrypanosomal agent. Fexinidazole shows trypanocidal activity against T. brucei subspecies and strains with IC50s of 0.7-3.3 μM (0.2-0.9 μg/ml). Fexinidazol has the potential for human sleeping sickness (HAT) caused by infection with T. brucei[1].

IC50 & Target

Trypanosoma

 

In Vitro

Fexinidazole (HOE 239) has two principal metabolites, sulfoxide and sulfone. They have shown trypanocidal activity in vitro with IC50s of 0.7-3.3 μM (0.2-0.9 μg/ml) range against all parasite strains tested[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Fexinidazole (HOE 239; 20-50 mg/kg/day of IP or 25-100 mg/kg/day of PO; four consecutive days) has antitrypanosomal activities[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Adult female NMRI mice weighing between 20 and 25 g T. b. rhodesiense[1]

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
