Bioactivity | ELQ-300 is a potent and orally bioavailable antimalarial agent, acts as an inhibitor of the reductive (Qi) site of the cytochrome bc1 complex (cyt bc1). ELQ-300 inhibits growth of P. falciparum Dd2, Tm90-C2B, and D1 with IC50 values of 6.6, 4.6 and 160 nM, respectively. ELQ-300 can be used for the research of antimalarial[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Target | IC50: 6.6 nM (P. falciparum Dd2), 4.6 nM (P. falciparum Tm90-C2B), 160 nM (P. falciparum D1) | ||||||||||||
Invitro | ELQ-300 (0-70 nM, 21 d) inhibits P. falciparum Dd2, Tm90-C2B, and D1 growth with IC50 values of 6.6, 4.6 and 160 nM, respectively[1]. | ||||||||||||
