Description

Micafungin sodium (FK 463 sodium) is an antifungal agent which inhibits 1, 3-beta-D-glucan synthesis.

In Vitro

Micafungin (10 mg/mL) phenotypicly decreases the formation of biofilm in most of the isolates. For all the genes tested, the levels of mRNA transcription are also decreased significantly in micafungin-treated samples cf. their untreated counterparts[1]. The combination of micafungin and KB425796-C is fungicidal and markedly reduces the number of CFU, in contrast to the fungistatic effects (no reduction in CFU) observed at all examined time points when each drug is used alone[2].

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

In Vivo

Micafungin (1 mg/kg) significantly prolongs survival compared with mice administered saline. Animals given a combination of micafungin (0.1 mg/kg) and KB425796-C (32 mg/kg) show a trend towards prolonged survival in comparison with those treated with micafungin (0.1 mg/kg) alone. In the livers of micafungin-treated mice, the number of CFUs decreases, although the clearance effect is less than that found in the kidneys. Combination treatment with micafungin and KB425796-C results in a significant decrease in the number of CFUs compared with the treatment with micafungin alone at all examined doses. The clearance effect associated with KB425796-C in combination with micafungin is greater than that observed in AMPH-treated animals[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.93 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.93 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    Solubility: 50 mg/mL (38.69 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  Saline

Cell Assay
[2]

Each fungal isolate is incubated statically in yeast-maltose (YM) agar broth for 24 h at 30°C. Cryptococcus neoformans YC203 is grown in YM broth medium for 20 h at 30°C with shaking at 200 r.p.m. A cell suspension is prepared by washing the cultured cells once with sterile saline. A. fumigatus FP1305 is cultured on a potato dextrose agar (PDA) slant for 4 days, and spores are then harvested in sterile saline and collected by filtering through gauze. Antifungal activity against all isolates, with the exception of C. neoformans, is measured by the micro-broth dilution method in 96-well culture plates using RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with l-glutamine, but without sodium bicarbonate, and buffered to pH 7.0 with 0.165 m MOPS. ForC. neoformans, yeast nitrogen base-glucose (YNBD) medium is used. For the assay, the test microorganism is inoculated into each well to yield 1×105 CFU/well, and the plates are then incubated for 20 h or 48 h at 37°C. Two end points are determined by microscopic observation: MEC, which is defined as a substantial reduction in fungal growth, and MIC, which is defined as a complete inhibition of growth.

Animal Administration
[2]

Eight groups of ten female DBA/2 mice (7 weeks old) are intravenously injected with 2.0×106 A. fumigatus FP1305 spores. The test groups receive the following treatments: AMPH at 1 mg/kg of body weight/dose given intraperitoneally (i.p.) once daily (q.d.); micafungin at 0.1, 0.32 or 1 mg/kg of body weight/dose given subcutaneously (s.c.) (q.d.); micafungin given s.c. (0.1, 0.32 or 1 mg/kgq.d.) plus KB425796-C given i.p. (32 mg/kg) twice daily (b.i.d.); and saline (b.i.d.). Drugs are administered on days 1 and 2. Five mice in each group are killed 1 day after the completion of treatment. The livers and kidneys are aseptically removed, and each organ is then homogenized in 5 mL sterile saline. Serial 10-fold dilutions of the homogenates are plated on PDA and incubated for 48 h at 37°C, and the numbers of CFU per gram of tissue are then calculated. The survival rate of remaining five mice of each group are examined daily for 31 days after the challenge.

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.
