Flurofamide
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Flurofamide is an effective bacterial urease inhibitor and antibacterial agent. Flurofamide inhibits urease and partially inhibits the chemotactic activity of Helicobacter pylori strain CPY3401. Flurofamide inhibits the growth of Ureaplasma urealyticum. Flurofamide reduces blood ammonia. Flurofamide can be used in the research of infectious urinary stones.

Biological Activity
Flufatamide inhibits NH3 production in 4 isolates of Ureaplasma parvum and 5 isolates of Ureaplasma urealyticum, with the minimum urease inhibition concentration ≤ 2 μM, confirming that it is a broad-spectrum Ureaplasma urease inhibitor[1].
Flurofamide (0.01-10 μM) partially inhibits the chemotactic activity of Helicobacter pylori CPY3401 strain in chemotactic buffer containing 3% Polyvinylpyrrolidone (simulating a viscous environment)[2].

Animal Model:C3H male and female mice (18-22 g), pharmacologically immunosuppressed with methylprednisone, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil for 7 days, and administered 40 g/L urea ad libitum in drinking water for 10 min to induce mild uremia, then infected with Ureaplasma parvum IDRL-10774 via intratracheal (IT) and intraperitoneal (IP) routes[1]
-
Dosage:6 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal (IP) injection; for prophylaxis group, administered 1 hour prior to IT and IP Ureaplasma challenge; for treatment group, administered 24 hours after IT and IP infection
-
Result:Showed the average blood NH3 level of 10.9 μM (in the prophylaxis group, 24 hours after infection).
Caused a 56.4% decrease in blood NH3 concentration in infected mice with initial blood NH3 concentration >30 μM, which was significantly higher than the 9.1% decrease in blood NH3 concentration in untreated infected mice (in the treatment group, 6 h after administration).

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.
