Cat. No.: HY-A0148A Purity: 99.9%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Halofantrine hydrochloride (SKF-102886 hydrochloride; WR-171669 hydrochloride) is a blocker that delays the delayed rectifier potassium current by inhibiting human ERG channels, and it is a potent antimalarial agent with oral activity. Halofantrine hydrochloride inhibits the Cap1-dependent oxidative stress response of Candida albicans, suppresses ROS responses, and enhances the antifungal (Fungal) activity of oxidative damage agents. Halofantrine hydrochloride exhibits antifungal activity in the Galleria mellonella model, and shows antimalarial activity against Plasmodium strains both in vitro and in animal models. Halofantrine hydrochloride can be used in studies related to invasive candidiasis, falciparum malaria, and vivax malaria.

Halofantrine hydrochloride inhibits the Cap1-dependent oxidative stress response of Candida albicans, suppresses ROS responses, and enhances the antifungal (Fungal) activity of oxidative damage agents. Halofantrine hydrochloride exhibits antifungal activity in the Galleria mellonella model, and shows antimalarial activity against Plasmodium strains both in vitro and in animal models.

IC50 & Target

Plasmodium

 

In Vitro

Halofantrine (24-48 h) hydrochloride acts synergistically with oxidative damage agents Plumbagin (HY-N1497), menadione, and H2O2 against Candida albicans strains SC5314 and SN152, with FICI values of 0.0938, 0.1563, and 0.2526, respectively[1].
The combination of halofantrine (24 h) hydrochloride and H2O2 retains synergistic activity against Candida albicans hog1Δ/Δ and rad53Δ/Δ strains (with FICI values of 0.5 and 0.2813, respectively), but shows no synergistic activity against cap1Δ/Δ, ybp1Δ/Δ or gpx3Δ/Δ strains when combined with H2O2, indicating that its oxidative stress inhibitory effect depends on the Cap1-Ybp1 pathway[1].
Halofantrine hydrochloride inhibits chloroquine (HY-17589A)-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum in vitro, with an IC50 value of 1.5-2.5 μg/L[2].
Halofantrine (1.3-3.9 μg/L) hydrochloride inhibits chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum in vitro, with an IC50 value of 1.3-3.9 μg/L[2].
Halofantrine (10 μM) hydrochloride inhibits glucose-dependent proton efflux in Plasmodium berghei-infected mouse erythrocytes at a concentration of 10 μmol/L in vitro[2].
Halofantrine inhibits Plasmodium falciparum in vitro, with an ID50 of 4.0 μg/L[2].

In Vivo

Halofantrine (0-2 mg/kg; injection; single dose) hydrochloride reduces the mortality rate of Galleria mellonella larvae infected with Candida albicans to 40% during an 8-day observation period[1].
Halofantrine (10-640 mg/kg; s.c.; p.o.; daily; single dose) hydrochloride exhibits potent in vivo antimalarial activity in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei, but shows poor oral bioavailability at doses up to 640 mg/kg[2].
Halofantrine (35-140 mg/kg; p.o.; 7-day regimen; single dose) hydrochloride alleviates Plasmodium falciparum infection in Aotus monkeys[2].

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: ≥ 3 mg/mL (5.59 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 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 (30.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
