IC50: 19 μM – 60 μM for various ovarian cancer cell lines
Bithionol is a potent inhibitor of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC).
Adenylyl cyclase is an enzyme with critical regulatory roles in cells. All classes of adenylyl cyclases can catalyse the conversion of adenosine triphosphate to 3",5"-cyclic AMP and pyrophosphate.
In vitro: Bithionol could cause dose-dependent cytotoxicity toward all tested ovarian cancer cell lines regardless of their sensitivities to cisplatin. Moreover, such cell death appeared to be via caspases mediated apoptosis. In addition, the mechanism of action appeared to be partially by cell cycle arrest, ROS generation as well as ATX inhibition [1].
In vivo: Oral toxicity of bithionol sulfoxide was assessed in acute toxicity studies in mice and rats. The median lethal dose (LD50) values in mice were > 1000 mg/kg and < 5000="" mg/kg="" after="" 21="" days;="" the="" male="" rat="" ld50="" value="" was="" around="" 5000="" mg/kg="" after="" 48="" h.="" moreover,="" the="" hepatic="" toxicity="" was="" observed="" at="" all="" tested="" doses.="" increases="" in="" serum="" ast="" were="" observed="" with="" the="" high="" doses,="" suggesting="" that="" mitochondria="" were="" affected.="" in="" addition,="" the="" histological="" study="" indicated="" more="" intense="" periportal="" fatty="" infiltration="" with="" high="" doses="" at="" 5000="" and="" 500="" mg/kg="" [2].="">
Clinical trial: In a previous study, bithionol was orally given to patients with acute fascioliasis at the daily dose of 25 mg/kg for 10 days. Results showed that all patients were cured. The follow-up period after the first course of treatment was between 16 and 47 months and no major side effects were found [3].
