Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1933270

Hydroxystilbamidine is an organic antimonal derivative with antiprotazoal, antifungal and anticancer activity. It was used in the treatment of blastomicosis and leishmaniasis. Moreover, hydroxystilbamidine (FluoroGold) is used as a tracer for neurons.

CNS Activity

CNS Penetrant
2588
Curator's Comment: Hydroxystilbamidine enters CNs and thus is used as a retrograde tracer for neurons. All the experiments on CNS penetration were done using rats, although the same is applicable for human.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
A total dose of 8 mg is given in daily doses of 225 mg in 200 ml of 5 percent dextrose by slow infusion.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Hairs infected with Microsporum audouini, M. canis, and Trichophyton schoenleini, respectively, as well as thick nail clippings infected with T. rubrum, were suspended for 72 hours at 30°C in 0.225 % aqueous solutions of hydroxystilbamidine. The minimum fungistatic concentration ranged from 60 ug/ml to 1000 ug/ml of Sabouraud's agar.
