Application

Lonidamine has been used:
  • as an inhibitor of glycolysis to study its effects on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) mechanism in cancer stem cells (CSC)
  • as mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)- inducing drug to study its effects on temozolomide-resistant glioblastoma cell line
  • as mitochondrial hexokinase inhibitor to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human acute myeloid leukemia cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lonidamine (LND) is an indazole derivative and is an anti-spermatogenic agent. It exhibits anti-tumor activity by sensitizing tumors to photodynamic, chemo-, radiotherapy, and hyperthermia. LND also interferes with energy metabolism by blocking glycolysis, adenosine diphosphate (ADP-), and uncoupler-stimulated respiration on various nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD-) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-linked substrates, hexokinase activity, and oxygen uptake in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. It blocks lactate export and pyruvate uptake into the mitochondria by inhibiting proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) and mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), respectively.
Inhibits the energy metabolism of neoplastic cells by interfering with hexokinase and disrupting uncoupler-stimulated mitochondrial electron transport; damages cell and mitochondrial membranes.

The aim of this study was to assess the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted polymer-blend nanoparticles loaded with the anticancer drugs lonidamine and paclitaxel. Plasma, tumor, and tissue distribution profiles were quantified in an orthotopic animal

The endocannabinoid system represents an integrated neuronal network involved in the control of several organisms' functions, such as feeding behavior. A series of hybrids of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-4-methyl-N-(piperidin-1-yl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (mimonabant), a well-known inverse agonist of the type-1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1), once used as

Lonidamine is a safe, clinically useful anti-tumor drug, but its efficacy is generally low when used in monotherapy. We here demonstrate that lonidamine efficaciously cooperates with the anti-leukemic agent arsenic trioxide (ATO, Trisenox) to induce apoptosis in HL-60 and other
