Curator's Comment: Description was created using several sources including: https://www.sri.com/newsroom/press-releases/sri-international-celebrates-50-years-drug-discovery-and-development-contrib; http://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB01218

Halofantrine is a blood schizonticidal antimalarial agent with no apparent action on the sporozoite, gametocyte or hepatic stages of the infection. It is used only to treat but not to prevent malaria. Has been marketed by GlaxoSmithKline as HALFAN (halofantrine hydrochloride) in 250 mg tablets indicated for the treatment of adults who can tolerate oral medication and who have mild to moderate malaria (equal to or less than 100,000 parasites/mm3) caused by Plasmodium falciparum or Plasmodium vivax. Among side effects is cardiac arrhythmia. It belongs to the phenanthrene class of compounds that includes quinine and lumefantrine. It was reported that halofantrine binds to hematin in vitro (crystal structure of the complex) and to to plasmpesin, a haemoglobin degrading enzyme unique to the malarial parasites.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

The recommended treatment consists of 2 courses of 1500 mg. One course dosage is 500 mg (2 x 250 mg tablets) given every 6 hours for 3 doses, repeated in 7 days. Halofantrine is administered at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after food.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Antimalarial activity of halofantrine against 33 strains of P. falciparum isolated from naturally acquired malaria infections in Thailand was determined using a radioisotope microdilution method. 0.2-25 ng/ml of halofantrine was added to test isolates of P. falciparum. Susceptibility response ID50 was 0.63-0.73 ng/ml.
