IC50 & Target[1]

Toxoplasma

0.44 nM (IC50)

TgDHFR

1.71 nM (Ki)

In Vitro

DHFR-IN-27 potently inhibits purified TgDHFR-TS with a Ki value of 1.71 nM[1].
DHFR-IN-27 (4 days) potently inhibits Toxoplasma gondii RH-GFP tachyzoites in HFF cells, with an IC50 of 0.44 nM, and exhibits a cell selectivity index as high as 165,000 relative to HFF cells[1].

In Vivo

LA4 (30 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 4 days) demonstrates potent in vivo anti-toxoplasmosis activity, reducing T. gondii burden in peritoneal fluid and blood and extending infected mice median survival to day 15[1].

Animal Model: ICR (female, 6-8 weeks old, infected intraperitoneally with 3000 Toxoplasma gondii RH (type I) tachyzoites)[1]
Dosage: 30 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.; daily; 4 days
Result: Reduced mean parasitic burden in peritoneal fluid to <103 T. gondii copy number.
Significantly reduced mean parasitic burden in blood compared to vehicle control.
Extended median survival time to day 15, with first death event on day 11; survival differed significantly from vehicle control (adjusted p < 0.001), with a hazard ratio of 0.02 (95% CI 0.01, 0.05).

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.
