EDI048 is an orally active, gut-restricted parasiticidal agent. EDI048 specifically binds to the ATP-binding site of Cryptosporidium phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (CpPI (4) K), blocks parasite membrane biogenesis, arrests the pathogen at the schizont stage, and thus irreversibly clears the infection. EDI048 is rapidly converted to an inactive carboxylic acid metabolite via hepatic first-pass metabolism, with extremely low systemic exposure, good safety profile, and no cardiotoxicity, genotoxicity or off-target effects. EDI048 is used in studies of intestinal cryptosporidiosis in children.

Description

EDI048 is an orally active, gut-restricted parasiticidal agent. EDI048 specifically binds to the ATP-binding site of Cryptosporidium phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (CpPI (4) K), blocks parasite membrane biogenesis, arrests the pathogen at the schizont stage, and thus irreversibly clears the infection. EDI048 is rapidly converted to an inactive carboxylic acid metabolite via hepatic first-pass metabolism, with extremely low systemic exposure, good safety profile, and no cardiotoxicity, genotoxicity or off-target effects. EDI048 is used in studies of intestinal cryptosporidiosis in children[1].

In Vitro

EDI048 (1 nM-20 μM; 5 min preincubation + 50 min incubation) potently inhibits wild-type Cryptosporidium parvum PI(4)K with an IC50 of 0.004 μM, and its activity depends on the conserved tyrosine residues Y705 and Y907 in the ATP-binding pocket of this enzyme[1].
EDI048 potently inhibits the asexual life cycles of Cryptosporidium parvum (48 h EC50=0.052 μM) and Cryptosporidium hominis (48 h EC50=0.050 μM) in HCT-8 cell cultures[1].
EDI048 (27 nM-20 μM; 72 h) exhibits antiparasitic activity against Cryptosporidium parvum in HCT-8 cell cultures. EDI048 achieves maximal parasite clearance (clearance rate >99%) at concentrations ≥27 nM, with a clearance half-life of approximately 15 h[1].
EDI048 (3× EC50; 4 h) exerts irreversible parasiticidal activity against Cryptosporidium parvum at the merozoite maturation stage (8-12 h post-infection) in HCT-8 cell cultures, but has no effect on the growth of the early trophozoite stage[1].

In Vivo

EDI048 (1-10 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; for 5 consecutive days) exhibits dose-dependent efficacy in immunocompromised mice infected with cryptosporidiosis, with extremely low systemic exposure[1].
EDI048 (10 mg/kg; p.o.; once every 12 hours; for 7 consecutive days) significantly reduces fecal oocyst excretion and rapidly alleviates diarrhea symptoms in neonatal calves infected with cryptosporidiosis, with no recurrence of infection after treatment[1].

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 (5.24 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 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.
