Application

Edelfosine or 1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine might be used:
  • as a non-hydrolysable LysoPC (phospholipid) analog for analyzing its ability to block sexual commitment in Plasmodium falciparum[1]
  • in multilamellar vesicle preparation to study its effect on model membranes[2]
  • in the selection and screening of mutagenized cells, having the ability to inhibit the transport of alkylphosphocholine drugs across the plasma membrane[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Edelfosine acts as a precursor for alkyl-lysophospholipids. It possesses apoptotic action against several cancer cells such as prostate, leukemia, brain and lung tumors. It is associated with cellular transport system, signaling transducing systems, cytokine synthesis and lipid metabolism. Edelfosine is known to control intracellular calcium levels. It is not mutagenic[2] and its anti-tumor action requires its incorporation into the cell.[4] Edelfosine is also found to block the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-I).[2]

The effect of edelfosine (1- O-octadecyl-2- O-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine or ET-18-OCH3) on model membranes containing 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl- sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/sphingomyelin/cholesterol (POPC/SM/cholesterol) was studied by several physical techniques. The sample POPC/SM (1:1 molar ratio) showed a broad phase transition as seen by DSC, X-ray diffraction, and

The alkylphosphocholine class of drugs, including edelfosine and miltefosine, has recently shown promise in the treatment of protozoal and fungal diseases, most notably, leishmaniasis. One of the major barriers to successful treatment of these infections is the development of drug

Edelfosine (1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-sn-glycero-phosphocholine) and miltefosine (hexadecylphosphocholine) are synthetic alkylphospholipids (ALPs) that are reported to selectively accumulate in tumor cell membranes, inducing Fas clustering and activation on lipid rafts, triggering apoptosis. However, the exact mechanism by which these lipids elicit these events

Transmission represents a population bottleneck in the Plasmodium life cycle and a key intervention target of ongoing efforts to eradicate malaria. Sexual differentiation is essential for this process, as only sexual parasites, called gametocytes, are infective to the mosquito vector. Gametocyte production

Edelfosine is an anticancer drug with an asymmetric structure because, being a derivative of glycerol, it possesses two hydrophobic substituents of very different lengths. We showed that edelfosine destabilizes liquid-ordered membranes formed by either 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl- sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, sphingomyelin (SM), and cholesterol
