Disease relevance of Pevaryl

  • In view of recent evidence that the imidazole antifungals econazole (EC) and miconazole (MC) inhibit TG-sensitive Ca(2+)-ATPase activity in normal rat thymocytes, we investigated the effect of these agents on intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis and cell survival in WEHI7.2 mouse lymphoma cells and human CEMT-cell leukemia cells [1].
  • The complexation of econazole with the mucoadhesive polycarbophil was found to significantly improve the therapeutic benefit of the drug in the topical treatment of experimental vaginal candidiasis in mice, while no difference in the antimycotic activity exerted by econazole and polycarbophil-econazole could be detected in vitro [2].
  • In these trials, sulconazole generally displayed similar efficacy to clotrimazole, econazole and miconazole, although in a few studies sulconazole produced better and/or quicker improvement than clotrimazole or miconazole in small numbers of patients with tinea pedis [3].
  • Liposomal econazole was successfully administered to tumor bearing mice at 50 mg/kg, and no significant toxicities attributable to econazole were observed [4].
  • Breast cancer colonies were reduced 60-500-fold or more after exposure to econazole while hemopoietic colonies were typically reduced only 2-fold [5].

Biological context of Pevaryl

 

Anatomical context of Pevaryl

  • These observations indicate that (1) cytochrome P-450 does not mediate store-regulated calcium influx, and (2) econazole probably inhibits store-regulated calcium influx by an alternative mechanism, such as interaction with plasma membrane calcium channels [21].
  • 5. Clotrimazole, econazole, miconazole and CN- also significantly inhibited intracellular free Ca2+ signals and cell shortening in rat single ventricular myocytes [22].
  • The effect of Stp on the entry of Ca2+ in activated (mAb C305) Jurkat lymphocytes was dose-related and was not the result of a direct inhibition of plasma membrane Ca2+ channels based on an absence of effect on the Tg-dependent entry of Ca2+ and the use of Ca2+ channel blockers (econazole and Ni2+) [23].
  • RESULTS: Econazole (Ec) and ketotifen (Ke) were variably effective against human and murine leukemia cell lines after 24 hours of incubation [24].
  • 3. Econazole dialysed from the pipette into the cytosol at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 30 microM did not reduce Icrac, or quantitatively affect Icrac block by extracellularly applied econazole [17].
 

Associations of Pevaryl with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Pevaryl

  • We observed that thapsigargin (TG) stimulated MAPK activation by store-operated calcium (SOC) influx via opening of calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels as tyrphostin-A9, a CRAC channel blocker, and two SOC influx inhibitors, econazole and SKF-96365, diminished the action of the former [30].
  • 4. Ruthenium red and econazole appeared to be the most effective inhibitors of currents through ECaC1, with IC(50) values of 111 nM and 1.3 microM, respectively, whereas the selective SOC inhibitor, SKF96365, was nearly ineffective [31].
  • SK&F 96365 and econazole but not GdCl(3) inhibited PACAP-induced CA release [32].
  • The agonist-evoked calcium plateau was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by the Cl-channel blocker NPPB, by the divalent cation Ni2+ and by the imidazole antimycotic econazole [33].
  • Inhibition of TRPM2 channels by the antifungal agents clotrimazole and econazole [34].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Pevaryl

  • Stopped-flow fluorimetry indicated that econazole had no detectable effect on the early time course of agonist-evoked Mn2+ entry or rises in [Ca2+]i. These data confirm the existence of a Ca2+ entry pathway in human platelets which is activated by depletion of the intracellular Ca2+ stores [35].
  • The total econazole absorbed into the supporting bed cotton ball in the test group was nearly 200-fold greater than that in the control group (p = 0.008) over the 14-day period [36].
  • We further evaluated the effect of econazole on breast cancer cells present in mobilized hemopoietic cells obtained from patients undergoing high dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell support [5].
  • A Parenteral Econazole Formulation Using a Novel Micelle-to-Liposome Transfer Method: In Vitro Characterization and Tumor Growth Delay in a Breast Cancer Xenograft Model [4].
  • Patients received a single course of econazole given as 1 vaginal pessary (150 mg) on 3 consecutive days [37].
