描述 | Atovaquone is a powerful suppressor of protozoan parasites with a broad-spectrum activity, but an extremely low water solubility and bioavailability. Oral administration of atovaquone nanoemulsion increased oral bioavailability, tissue distribution and mice survival time and reduced parasitemia and number and size of the brain cysts[3]. While atovaquone has potent in vitro activity against Toxoplasma gondii, it is poorly absorbed after oral administration and shows poor therapeutic efficacy against TE(toxoplasma encephalitis). Development of TE and mortality in mice treated with 1.0- or 0.1-mg/kg i.v. doses of ANS (atovaquone nanosuspensions) did not differ from that in mice treated orally with 100 mg of atovaquone/kg[4]. Atovaquone, an antiprotozoal and antipneumocystic agent, is predominantly cleared by biliary excretion of unchanged parent drug[5]. Atovaquone potently inhibits the propagation of MCF7-derived CSCs, with an IC-50 of 1 μM, as measured using the mammosphere assay. In addition to targeting the proliferation of CSCs (Cancer Stem-like Cells), atovaquone also induces apoptosis in both CD44+/CD24low/- CSC and ALDH+ CSC populations, during exposure to anchorage-independent conditions for 12 hours[6]. |
