Rating: 5 (3 reviews)

Diminazene(Diminazene diaceturate) is a di-amidine also known as 4,4-(1-Triazene–1,3–diyl)bis(benzenecarboximidamide), used as an effective trypanocidal agent. The main biochemical mechanism of the trypanocidal actions of Diminazene aceturate is by binding to trypanosomal kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) in a non-intercalative manner through specific interaction with sites rich in adenine-thymine base pairs. Diminazene aceturate is also an angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) activator and has strong and potent anti-inflammatory properties.

Description

Diminazene(Diminazene diaceturate) is a di-amidine also known as 4,4-(1-Triazene–1,3–diyl)bis(benzenecarboximidamide), used as an effective trypanocidal agent. The main biochemical mechanism of the trypanocidal actions of Diminazene aceturate is by binding to trypanosomal kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) in a non-intercalative manner through specific interaction with sites rich in adenine-thymine base pairs. Diminazene aceturate is also an angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) activator and has strong and potent anti-inflammatory properties.

In vitro
In vitro	Diminazene is capable of inhibiting the P2 transporter activity and this activity is lost in one diminazene-adapted trypanosome line, this does not formally prove that TbAT1 transports diminazene, nor does it establish whether transporter in addition to P2 could be involved in diminazene uptake. Diminazene is rapidly accumulated through a single transporter in T. brucei brucei 427 with K_m value of 0.45 μM. [³H]Diminazene transport is also potently inhibited by pentamidine and adenosine, with K_i values of 0.21 μM and 0.25 μM, respectively. [3H]diminazene (2.5 μM) is clearly accumulated by yeast cells expressing TbAT1, with a rate of 0.0083 pmol/10⁷ cell/s, and this process is completely inhibited by the presence of 1 mM unlabeled diminazene aceturate. ^[1]

In Vivo
In vivo	Diminazene aceturate (3.5 mg/kg) appeares to be effective in the first treatment of horses and mules infected with T. evansi, parasites are cleared from the peripheral blood of horses on days 1 and 7 and mules on days 1 and 14. ^[2] Diminazene aceturate (DA) (7 mg/kg, i.m.) effectively clears the parasites from the blood of the infected treated dogs. ^[3]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
