In Vivo

Pafuramidine (1-10 mg/kg; p.o.; for 5 or 10 days) cures some trypanosomes-infected monkeys[1].
Pafuramidine (2.5-100 mg/kg; p.o.; for 4 or 5 days) cures some Trypanosoma brucei-infected mice[5].

Animal Model: Vervet monkeys (infected by intravenous injection of 104 trypanosomes)[1]
Dosage: 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg (group 1/2/3); 10 mg/kg (group 4/5)

Result: Cured all three monkeys in group 3 at 10 mg/kg, and did not recur during the monitoring period.
All three monkeys in group 4 became aparasitemic by day 5 of dosing, but only two of three monkeys remained free of blood parasites until 180 days post-treatment monitoring.
All three monkeys in group 5 became aparasitemic by day 4 of dosing, but only two of three of monkeys remained free of blood trypanosomes by the end of the 180 days of post-treatment monitoring.
Animal Model: Female NMRI mice (infected intraperitoneally with 2 × 104 STIB900 bloodstream forms)[5]
Dosage: 2.5, 5, 25 and 50 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.; for 4 days (started on the 4th day postinfection)
Result: Cured all four mice at 25 and 50 mg/kg.
Animal Model: Female NMRI mice (infected intraperitoneally with 2 × 104 GVR35 bloodstream forms)[5]
Dosage: 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.; for 5 days (started on the 21st day postinfection)
Result: Showed good CNS activity in the GVR35 CNS model, with 3/5 mice cured at 100 mg/kg.

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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.86 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.71 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.

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.
