Suloctidil is an orally active calcium channel blocker and antifungal agent. Suloctidil antagonizes vasoconstriction induced by norepinephrine, angiotensin and serotonin. Suloctidil inhibits platelet function and exhibits neuroprotective effects. Suloctidil exerts inhibitory effects on Candida albicans biofilm and virulence. Suloctidil can be used in research on vasospasm relief, antithrombosis and superficial candidiasis.

Description

Suloctidil is an orally active calcium channel blocker and antifungal agent. Suloctidil antagonizes vasoconstriction induced by norepinephrine, angiotensin and serotonin. Suloctidil inhibits platelet function and exhibits neuroprotective effects. Suloctidil exerts inhibitory effects on Candida albicans biofilm and virulence. Suloctidil can be used in research on vasospasm relief, antithrombosis and superficial candidiasis[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Suloctidil (4 μg/mL; 48 h) inhibits 80% of planktonic growth of Candida albicans strains YEM30 and LC3 with an MIC80 of 4 μg/mL after 48 h of incubation[1].
Suloctidil (4-32 μg/mL; 3-24 h) inhibits 80% of biofilm formation in Candida albicans strains YEM30 and LC3 with a BIC80 of 16 μg/mL after 24 h, and exerts concentration-dependent, time-dependent biofilm formation inhibition, with complete inhibition at 16 and 32 μg/mL within 3 h[1].
Suloctidil (32-256 μg/mL; 0.5-24 h) eradicates 80% of preformed biofilms in Candida albicans strains YEM30 and LC3 with a BEC80 of 64 μg/mL after 24 h, and exerts rapid, concentration-dependent eradication activity, achieving a fungicidal endpoint within 0.5 h at 64, 128, and 256 μg/mL[1].
Suloctidil (64 μg/mL; 1-24 h) induces time-dependent morphological damage to preformed Candida albicans YEM30 biofilms, with slight shrinkage at 1 h and severe shriveling and detachment at 24 h[1].
Suloctidil (16 μg/mL; 12 h) completely inhibits yeast-to-hyphal switching in Candida albicans YEM30 when added at the start of culture, partially inhibits switching when added after 2 h, and does not inhibit switching when added after 4 h, following 12 h total incubation[1].
Suloctidil (4 μg/mL; 18 h) downregulates the expression of hypha-specific genes HWP1, ALS3, and ECE1 in Candida albicans YEM30 by 2.8-, 2.3-, and 4.9-fold, respectively, after 18 h of incubation[1].
Suloctidil (0.01-1 μM) non-competitively inhibits norepinephrine-, angiotensin-, and serotonin-induced contractions and competitively inhibits calcium-induced contractions in isolated arteries[3].

Real Time qPCR[1]

Cell Line: Candida albicans strain YEM30
Concentration: 4 μg/mL
Incubation Time: 18 h
Result: Reduced the expression of hypha-specific genes HWP1 by 2.8-fold, ALS3 by 2.3-fold, and ECE1 by 4.9-fold compared to untreated controls.
In Vivo

Suloctidil (256 μg/mL; intravaginal; daily; until day 21 post-infection) significantly reduces C. albicans fungal burden and attenuates vaginal tissue inflammation in a murine model of vulvovaginal candidiasis[1].

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

Animal Model: Kunming mice (female, 7-8 weeks old, 28-32 g, pseudoestrus via subcutaneous estradiol benzoate, intravaginally infected with Candida albicans)[1]
Dosage: 256 μg/mL
Administration: intravaginal; daily; until day 21 post-infection
Result: Significantly reduced C.
albicans fungal burden compared to vehicle controls, with statistically significant differences starting at day 5 post-infection, and sustained through day 15 post-infection.
Showed no detectable inflammatory cell infiltration in vaginal tissues at day 5 post-infection, while vehicle-treated mice had large amounts of neutrophil and mononuclear cell infiltration.
Exhibited only mild histologic changes at day 9 post-infection, compared to significant lymphocyte and mononuclear cell infiltration in vehicle-treated mice.
Had less lymphocyte and cellular infiltration in the mucosa propria than vehicle-treated mice at day 15 post-infection.

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 (7.41 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    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 (7.41 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.

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.
