Ketoconazole is an orally active imidazole antifungal agent that inhibits the activities of CYP3A4 and CYP24A1. Ketoconazole disrupts fungal cell membrane integrity by inhibiting cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase and blocking ergosterol synthesis. Ketoconazole reduces androgen synthesis by inhibiting 17α-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase. Ketoconazole can be used in research related to fungal infections, prostate cancer, and Cushing syndrome[1-4].
In vitro, treatment of human osteosarcoma MG63 cells with 20-200μM Ketoconazole for 24 hours reduced cell viability and induced apoptosis, elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentration, and induced ERK and JNK phosphorylation[5]. Pretreatment of J774 cells with 10μg/mL Ketoconazole for 30 minutes followed by treatment with 10μg/mL lipopolysaccharide for 24 hours decreased nitrite levels in culture supernatants and reduced i-NOS mRNA expression in cells[6]. Treatment of CEM-C7 cells with 18.8-90μM Ketoconazole for 90 hours inhibited cell growth[7].
In vivo, a single oral administration of 300mg/kg Ketoconazole to male rats decreased serum testosterone and corticosterone levels and reduced epididymal sperm motility[8]. Daily topical application of 2% Ketoconazole solution (0.1mL per application, 5 days per week) to the dorsal skin of depilated C3H/HeN mice for 3 weeks promoted hair regrowth and stimulated telogen-to-anagen transition[9]. Oral administration of 10mg/kg Ketoconazole to Schistosoma mansoni-infected CD1 Swiss albino mice on days 47, 48, and 49 post-infection, followed by a single oral dose of 400mg/kg quinine 2 hours after the last Ketoconazole dose, inhibited hepatic CYP450 and CYT b5 activities, reduced female worms, total worms, hepatic egg burden, and intestinal egg burden, shrank liver granuloma diameter, and increased the percentage of dead eggs[10].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
CEM-C7 cells (human lymphoblastic leukemia cell line) and a glucocorticoid-receptor-negative subline of CEM-C7 cells |
|
Preparation Method |
CEM-C7 cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% defined supplemented bovine calf serum at 37°C, 5% CO2. CEM-C7 cells and receptor-negative CEM-C7 cells were treated with Ketoconazole at 18.8μM for 90 hours, or with 45μM and 90μM Ketoconazole combined with triamcinolone acetonide for 90 hours; cell growth was counted and glutamine synthetase activity was assayed. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
18.8μM, 45μM, 90μM; 90h |
|
Applications |
Ketoconazole inhibited CEM-C7 cell growth and inhibited growth of glucocorticoid-receptor-negative CEM-C7 cells. Ketoconazole at 45μM and 90μM reduced triamcinolone acetonide induction of glutamine synthetase activity. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
CD1 Swiss albino mice infected with of Schistosoma mansoni (Egyptian strain) |
|
Preparation Method |
Mice were orally administered Ketoconazole at 10mg/kg in ultrapure water containing 0.01M hydrochloric acid on 3 days (post-infection day 47, 48, 49), 2 hours before a single oral dose of 400mg/kg quinine or 400mg/kg halofantrine. Mice were killed at day 63 post-infection (day 14 after treatment) for parasitological, histopathological and biochemical assessments. |
|
Dosage form |
10mg/kg; p.o.; 3 days |
|
Applications |
Ketoconazole plus quinine or halofantrine further inhibited hepatic CYP450 and CYT b5 activities, reduced female worms, total worms, hepatic egg burden and intestinal egg burden, shrank liver granuloma diameter, increased dead egg percentage. |
