Pentamidine dimesylate
Based on 9 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Pentamidine (MP-601205) dimesylate is an antimicrobial agent and interferes with DNA biosynthetics. Pentamidine dimesylate inhibits parasite Leishmania infantum with an IC50 of 2.5 μM. Pentamidine dimesylate is a potent and selective protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) and phosphatase of regenerating liver (PRL) inhibitor. Pentamidine dimesylate has the potential for Gambian trypanosomiasis, antimony-resistant leishmaniasis, and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia treatment. Antitumor and antibacterial activities.

Pentamidine (0-10 µg/mL; 6 days; WM9, DU145, C4-2, Hey, WM480, and A549 cells) dimesylate treatment inhibits the growth of cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
The cytotoxic properties of Pentamidine isethionate towards the promastigotes of the protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum is determined. The leishmanicidal activity of Pentamidine isethionate is 60 times higher after 72 h of incubation than that of Cisplatin. Pentamidine isethionate induces a higher amount of programmed cell death (PCD) than Cisplatin, which is associated with inhibition of DNA synthesis and cell-cycle arrest in the G2/M phase. Binding of Pentamidine isethionate to calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) induces conformational changes in the DNA double helix, consistent with a B-->A transition. The interaction of Pentamidine isethionate with ubiquitin leads to a 6% increase in the beta-sheet content of the protein[2].
