Alexidine, a bis-biguanide, exhibits antifungal and antibiofilm activity against a diverse range of fungal pathogens. Alexidine is an anticancer agent that targets a mitochondrial tyrosine phosphatase, PTPMT1, in mammalian cells and causes mitochondrial apoptosis.

At equivalent molar concentrations, both the salt and free forms of a compound exhibit comparable biological activity. Nevertheless, the salt form (Alexidine dihydrochloride) usually boasts enhanced water solubility and stability.

Description

Alexidine, a bis-biguanide, exhibits antifungal and antibiofilm activity against a diverse range of fungal pathogens. Alexidine is an anticancer agent that targets a mitochondrial tyrosine phosphatase, PTPMT1, in mammalian cells and causes mitochondrial apoptosis[1].

In Vitro

Alexidine (10 µM, 24 hours) treatment can decimate the biofilm community[1].
Alexidine (0-60 μg/ml, 24 hours) treatment can kill HUVECs and lung A549 cells[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Result: Could significantly kill 80% of mature biofilm community.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: HUVECs, lung A549 cells
Concentration: 0-60 μg/ml
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: resulted in 50% killing of HUVECs and lung A549 cells ( CC50 > 7.37 μg/ml ).
In Vivo

Alexidine (Jugular vein-catheterized; 48 hours; 3 µg/ml; once) can decimate preformed biofilms growing in the jugular vein catheters of mice[1].

Dosage: 3 µg/ml
Administration: Jugular vein-catheterized, 48 hours, 3 µg/ml, once
Result: Inhibited 67% of fungal biofilm growth and viability, compared to the control untreated biofilms.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
