Description of Lonidamine

Lonidamine is an inhibitor of hexokinase, mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (with a Ki of 2.5μM in isolated rat liver mitochondria) and plasma membrane monocarboxylate transporter, and also inhibits mitochondrial complex II [1]. Lonidamine is an anti-tumor drug that can inhibit aerobic glycolysis in cancer cells [2]. Lonidamine can be used in the research of mitochondrial metabolism and inflammation [3].

In vitro, Lonidamine (3, 10, and 30μM; 24h) treatment of IL-4, IL-13, and TNF-α-induced human nasal mucosal epithelial cells significantly and dose-dependently reduced the expression of CXCL1 and PTN, confirming its direct anti-inflammatory and anti-resorptive effects on nasal epithelial cells [4]. Lonidamine (150μM; 45min and 3h) treatment of human melanoma DB-1 cells significantly reduced NADH levels, the Fp redox ratio (Fp/(NADH + Fp)) increased, and mitochondrial redox capacity significantly decreased [5].

In vivo, Lonidamine (100mg/kg; ip) treatment for 2 hours significantly reduced the βNTP level in nude mice with DB-1 human melanoma. At the same time, the NTP levels in DB-1, HCC1806, BT-474, A2780 and LNCaP also decreased respectively [6]. Lonidamine (1, 3, and 10mg/kg/day for 11 days; i.g.) treatment alleviated the symptoms of chronic sinusitis mice, reduced sneezing, cytokine release, inflammatory cell infiltration, and goblet cell hyperplasia. Lonidamine inhibits inflammation by inhibiting the differentiation of inflammatory epithelial cells and neutrophils through Cxcl1-Cxcr2 [4].

Protocol of Lonidamine

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

DB-1 cell

Preparation Method

For testing Lonidamine treatment response of cultured cells, DB-1 cells were expanded in phenol-red free RPMI 1640 complete medium. Suspended DB-1 cells (4 × 104, 200μl) were transferred to a 35-mm glass bottom dish (MatTek, MA) and incubated for 4h to allow cells to attach to the glass surface. Fresh medium (1 ml) was then added, and the dish was incubated for 20h. Approximately 1h before imaging, the medium was removed and the dish were rinsed twice with PBS (with Ca2+ and Mg2+) followed by adding 1ml live cell imaging solution (LCIS) spiked with 11mM glucose and 2mM glutamine. For the Lonidamine-treated group, the cells were treated with 150μM Lonidamine for 45min (0.8% or 0.2% DMSO in the glucose and glutamine-spiked LCIS). The control group was treated with 0.8% or 0.2% DMSO for 45min.

Reaction Conditions

150μM; 45min

Applications

Lonidamine significantly reduced the NADH level in the cells, and the Fp redox ratio (Fp/(NADH + Fp)) increased, while the mitochondrial redox capacity was significantly decreased.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57BL/6 mice

Preparation Method

C57BL/6 mice were housed in ventilated cages. All animal experiments were approved by the institutional animal care and use committee at the Zhejiang University Laboratory Animal Center. A mouse model of eosinophilic chronic sinusitis (ECRS) was established using intranasal papain administration (20μg in 20μL PBS) on Days 0–2 and 7–10 for a total of 7 doses, with controls receiving PBS. Treatment groups included gavage with Lonidamine (1, 3, or 10mg/kg), or intraperitoneal DEX (1mg/kg) daily for 11 days. Seventy-two mice (balanced for sex) were divided into six groups (n = 12 per group): control, ECRS, ECRS+ Lonidamine (1, 3, or 10mg/kg), and ECRS+DEX. No adverse effects were noted. Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and euthanized using CO2 (30% vol/min). This study followed ethical guidelines for humane animal treatment.

Dosage form

1, 3, and 10mg/kg/day for 11 days; i.g.

Applications

Lonidamine alleviated ECRS symptoms, reducing sneezing, cytokine release, inflammatory cell infiltration, and goblet cell hyperplasia.
