Itraconazole is an orally active antifungal drug that can strongly inhibit the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, with an IC50 value is 800nM [1]. Itraconazole inhibits the NaV channel in the heart (IC50=4.2μM) and regulates the contractility of the left ventricle of the heart [2]. Itraconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis by interacting with the substrate binding site of the fungal 14α-demethylase, increasing cell membrane permeability and disrupting cell membrane integrity[3]. Itraconazole has been widely used to inhibit the growth of various tumor cells and promote autophagy in cancer cells[4].
In vitro, Itraconazole treatment for 36 hours significantly inhibited the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), with an IC50 value of 0.16µM[5]. Treatment of MCF-7 cells with 20µg/ml Itraconazole for 24 hours significantly induced cell death, accompanied by changes in mitochondrial membrane potential[6]. Treatment of SW-480 cells with 5µM Itraconazole for 48 hours significantly promoted cell apoptosis, induced G1 phase cell cycle arrest and significantly accumulated autophagosomes[7].
In vivo, Itraconazole treatment via intravenous administration at a dose of 20mg/kg/day for 4 days significantly reduced the fungal load in the lung tissues of mice with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) and improved the survival rate of the mice[8]. Oral administration of 75mg/kg of Itraconazole twice daily for 2 weeks significantly inhibited tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model of MKN45 cells[9].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | SW-480 cells |
Preparation Method | SW-480 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100U/ml penicillin, and 100μg/ml streptomycin at 37°C with 5% CO2 and 95% saturated atmospheric humidity. Cells were seeded into 96-well microplates at a density of 5×103 cells/ml for 24h. Various concentrations of Itraconazole (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100µM) were added to each well. At the end of the incubation period (48h at 37°C), cell viability was analyzed. |
Reaction Conditions | 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100µM; 48h |
Applications | Itraconazole treatment significantly induced cell death of SW-480 cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | BALB/c mice |
Preparation Method | BALB/c mice (6 weeks old) were maintained under a 12h light and 12h dark cycle at a temperature of 25°C and humidity of 50%±10%, free with water and diet. 5×106 MKN45 cells were suspended in 100ml of PBS and injected subcutaneously into the right flank of male nude mice. When tumors reached a size measuring 40 to 70mm3, calculated as V = L × W2/2(V = Tumor volume, L = Length, W = Width), mice were treated with hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrin (vehicle control), Itraconazole (75mg/kg; twice daily by oral administration). Tumors were measured three times per week for 2 weeks. Then mice were sacrificed, and the tumor tissues were isolated for analysis. |
Dosage form | 75mg/kg; twice daily for 2 weeks; p.o. |
Applications | Itraconazole treatment inhibited tumor growth in mice with MKN45 xenografts. |
