Use of MEFLOQUINE

Mefloquine (Mefloquin), an orally active and potent quinoline antimalarial agent, is an anti-SARS-CoV-2 entry inhibitor. Mefloquine is also a K+ channel (KvQT1/minK) antagonist with an IC50 of ~1 μM. Mefloquine can be used for malaria, systemic lupus erythematosus and cancer research[1][2][3].

Description	Mefloquine (Mefloquin), an orally active and potent quinoline antimalarial agent, is an anti-SARS-CoV-2 entry inhibitor. Mefloquine is also a K+ channel (KvQT1/minK) antagonist with an IC50 of ~1 μM. Mefloquine can be used for malaria, systemic lupus erythematosus and cancer research[1][2][3].

In Vitro	Mefloquine selectively inhibits prostate cancer (PCa) cell growth with an IC50 of ~10 μM. Mefloquine also induces hyperpolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), as well as ROS generation[2]. Mefloquine (10 μM)-mediated ROS simultaneously downregulated Akt phosphorylation and activated ERK, JNK and AMPK signaling in PC3 cells[2]. Mefloquine shows higher anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity than Hydroxychloroquine in VeroE6/TMPRSS2 and Calu-3 cells, with IC50 of 1.28 μM, IC90 of 2.31 μM, and IC99 of 4.39 μM in VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells. Mefloquine inhibits viral entry after viral attachment to the target cell[3].
In Vivo	Mefloquine (5 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 14 days) reverses the lower vertebral cancellous bone volume and bone formation; and has modest effects on cortical bone volume, thickness, and moment of inertia in old mice[4].
