Naphthoquine phosphate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Naphthoquine phosphate is an orally active antimalarial and antiviral agent. Naphthoquine phosphate exhibits ex vivo activity against multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, preferentially targeting ring-stage rather than trophozoite-stage parasites. Naphthoquine phosphate inhibits coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-229E) replication by affecting viral entry and post-entry replication. Naphthoquine phosphate is used for research on malaria and Covid-19.

In Vitro
Naphthoquine (0.1-1.0 μg/mL; 1 h) phosphate exhibits a high plasma protein binding rate (> 80%), which is independent of sex, species, and reagent concentration in mice, rats, and humans[1].
Naphthoquine (10 μM; 60 min) phosphate shows no sex-related differences in metabolic clearance rate in mouse and rat liver microsomes[1].
Naphthoquine (2-fold dilution at concentrations up to 481 nM; 35-56 h) phosphate exhibits potent ex vivo activity against field isolates of Plasmodium falciparum (median IC50, 8.0 nM) and Plasmodium vivax (median IC50, 7.8 nM)[2].
Naphthoquine (2-fold serial dilution, maximum concentration of 481 nM; 24 h) phosphate exhibits stage-specific activity in Plasmodium falciparum (median IC50 of 5.1 nM for rings versus median IC50 of 26.5 nM for trophozoites), as well as in Plasmodium vivax (median IC50 of 6.5 nM for rings versus median IC50 of 341.6 nM for trophozoites)[2].
Naphthoquine (1.02-9.16 μM; 48 h) phosphate inhibits HCoV-229E replication in Huh7 cells with an IC50 of 2.05 μM[3].
Naphthoquine (1.02-9.16 μM; 72 h) phosphate inhibits HCoV-OC43 replication in H460 cells with an IC50 of 5.83 μM[3].
Naphthoquine (12 h (pretreatment); 48 h (post-infection)) phosphate inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in Vero cells with an IC50 of 2.01 μM[3].

Protocols

Research Protocol for Infectious Diseases
Infectious-disease experiments test how pathogens interact with host barriers, innate immune receptors, inflammatory signaling, pathogen replication, and tissue injury; pattern-recognition receptors such as TLRs, RIG-I-like receptors, NOD-like receptors, and inflammasomes detect microbial molecules and activate NF-κB, interferon, and cytokine responses. The central hypothesis is that infection severity reflects the balance between pathogen burden and host response: protective inflammation restricts pathogen growth, whereas excessive or mislocalized inflammation contributes to tissue damage and disease phenotype. Unresolved questions include which host pathways are protective versus pathogenic, why some infection models fail to translate to human disease, and which combined readouts best predict clinically relevant infection outcomes.
