Biological Activity

Description	Primaquine Diphosphate is a transmission-blocking anti-malarial clinically available, displaying a marked activity against gametocytes of all species of human malaria.

In vitro
In vitro	Primaquine is still the only transmission-blocking anti-malarial clinically available, displaying a marked activity against gametocytes of all species of human malaria, including multi-resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains. Primaquine is also effective against all exoerythrocytic forms of the parasite and is used in conjunction with other anti-malarials for the treatment of vivax and ovale malaria. The exact mechanism by which Primaquine so effectively eliminates Plasmodium falciparum and gametocytes is still unknown, but it is thought that metabolism at the parasites’ mitochondria is impaired, eventually by interference with the ubiquinone function as an electron carrier in the respiratory chain. Another potential mechanism of anti-malarial action by Primaquine is the production of highly reactive metabolites that generate intracellular oxidative potentials. Primaquine is found to be an inhibitor of vesicular transport and blocks the calcium-release-activated current in rat megakaryocytes. Primaquine also acts on cardiac Na⁺ channels in isolated rat ventricular muscle and myocytes. Primaquine inhibits protein transport with IC50 of 50 μM, and inhibits the budding of vesicles from the donor membranes. PQ has a strong inhibitory effect on the recycling of endocytosed proteins to the plasma membrane. Primaquine is able to inhibit the potassium current by blockade of muscarinic receptors. Primaquine also inhibit human erythrocyte membrane acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with IC33 of 30 μM. Primaquine is a nitrite-reacting mutagen precursor where the secondary amino group plays a key role. ^[1]

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.
