| Halofuginone hydrobromide Usage And Synthesis |
Description | Halofuginone hydrobromide (Halofuginone) is a specific collagen Type I inhibitor that antagonize or inhibit the development of new blood vessels, hence can prevent intimal hyperplasia at a vascular anastomosis. It is used in the treatment or prevention of coccidiosis in both humans and animals. | Chemical Properties | White to Off-White Solid | Uses | Halogenated derivative of Febrifugine. Halofuginone hydrobromide is used as an antiprotozoal (coccidiostat).
| Definition | The hydrobromide salt of halofuginone, a semisynthetic quinazolinone alkaloid anticoccidial derived from the plant Dichroa febrifuga, with antifibrotic and potential antineoplastic activities. Halofuginone specifically inhibits collagen type I gene expression and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) gene expression, which may result in the suppression of angiogenesis, tumor stromal cell development, and tumor cell growth. These effects appear to be due to halofuginone-mediated inhibition of the collagen type I and MMP-2 promoters. Collagen type I and MMP-2 play important roles in fibro-proliferative diseases. | Biological Activity | Halofuginone hydrobromide is a high affinity competitive prolyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor (Ki = 18.3 nM). Blocks expression of MMP2. Inhibits ECM invasion in vitro and lung metastasis by bladder cancer cells in mice. Inhibits the development of Th17-driven autoimmunity in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis by activating the amino acid response (AAR) pathway. Also antiparasitic. | storage | Store at -20°C | Mode of action | Halofuginone is an an ATP-dependent inhibitor prolyl-tRNA synthetase (Ki of 18.3 nM). Halofuginone attenuates osteoarthritis (OA) by inhibition of TGF-β activity. Blocks expression of MMP2 and inhibits ECM invasion in vitro and lung metastasis by bladder cancer cells in mice. Also inhibits the development of Th17-driven autoimmunity in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis by activating the amino acid response (AAR) pathway. |
