Field of application
Nifurtimox is a 5-nitrofuran and is used to treat diseases caused by trypanosomes including Chagas disease and sleeping sickness. It is given by mouth and not by injection. Nifurtimox is now in a Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of pediatric neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma. Nifurtimox decreased cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. Nifurtimox also suppressed basal and TrkB-mediated Akt phosphorylation, and the cytotoxicity of nifurtimox was attenuated by a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor (alpha-methyl-tyrosine). Nifurtimox killed catecholaminergic, but not cholinergic, autonomic neurons in culture. In vivo xenograft models showed inhibition of tumor growth with a histologic decrease in proliferation and increase in apoptosis. These results suggest that nifurtimox induces cell death in neuroblastoma . Therefore, further studies are warranted to develop nifurtimox as a promising new treatment for neuroblastoma.

Description: Nifurtimox, an antiprotozoal agent, which is generally used for the treatment of infections with Trypanosoma cruzi, has been used in the therapy of neuroblastoma. Nifurtimox affects enzyme activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).
Target: Trypanosoma cruzi[1] Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) [1]
In Vitro: Nifurtimox affects enzyme activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). To differentiate if this effect is a result of a reduced LDH activity or a shift in pyruvate metabolism due to activation of PDH, the enzyme activity of LDH is determined after 4 h treatment with 50 µg/mL Nifurtimox. Compared to the untreated control, the LDH activity is significantly reduced for LA-N-1 (P=0.005), IMR-32 (P=0.009), LS (P=0.0035) and SK-N-SH (P=0.0065). Nifurtimox reduces cell viability and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells. To characterize the cytotoxic impacts of Nifurtimox on neuroblastoma, 4 cell lines are subjected to several experiments. Cell viability is reduced for all 4 neuroblastoma cell lines after 24 h incubation with 50 µg/mL to an average of 66%, 63%, 62% and 75% (LA-N-1, IMR-32 LS and SK-N-SH, respectively). The reduction is significant compared to the untreated control (P<0.01) and the vehicle control with DMSO (P<0.05) for all cell lines[1].
Cell Assay: The Neuroblastoma cell lines IMR-32, LA-N-1 and SK-N-SH and the neuroblastoma cell line LS are grown in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal calf serum (FCS), 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL Penicillin and 100 µg/mL Streptomycin and incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 and saturated humidity. To assess the cell viability after incubation with Nifurtimox at different concentrations (10 µg/mL up to 50 µg/mL or 34.8 µM to 174 µM, respectively in the supernatant growth medium) or the vehicle control with according concentrations, all neuroblastoma cell lines are subjected to an MTS assay. Stock solutions of MTS are made at 480 µM in sterile filtered deionized water and stored at -20°C. Cells are grown to approximately 50% confluency, treated with Nifurtimox, and incubated for 1 h with fresh media containing 12 µM MTS[1].
