The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50s) of benflumetol (range, 12.5 to 240 nM; mean, 55.1 nM) for 158 Senegalese isolates were evaluated. Ten isolates (6%) showed decreased susceptibility to benflumetol. Benflumetol was slightly more potent against chloroquine-resistant isolates (P < 0.025). No correlation or weak correlations in the responses to benflumetol and pyrimethamine, chloroquine, amodiaquine, artemether, quinine, and pyronaridine were observed, and these correlations are insufficient to suggest cross-resistance. Benflumetol may be an important alternative drug for the treatment of chloroquine-resistant malaria.
评估了本芴醇对158株塞内加尔分离株的50%抑制浓度(IC50,范围为12.5至240 nM;平均值为55.1 nM)。10株分离株(6%)对本芴醇的敏感性降低。本芴醇对氯喹耐药分离株的活性略强(P < 0.025)。未观察到本芴醇与乙胺嘧啶、氯喹、阿莫地喹、蒿甲醚、奎宁和咯萘啶反应之间的相关性或弱相关性,且这些相关性不足以提示交叉耐药。本芴醇可能是治疗氯喹耐药疟疾的一种重要替代药物。
