• Infected and non-infected contralateral ear thicknesses were measured every 3-4 days with a caliper gauge, and the lesion sizes were expressed as the difference between the thickness of infected and non-infected ears.
• Mouse Ear Swelling Test can detect reliably moderate to strong sensitizers, as indicated by OECD guidelines for testing of chemicals.
• OECD Mouse Ear Swelling Test
• the cell suspensions were pre-diluted 500 ⁇ in medium M199 supplemented with 10% heat inactivated foetal calf serum, antibiotics 100 U/ml Penicillin/100 ⁇ g/ml streptomycin, 5 ug/ml hemine and 2% human urine), and then serially diluted 3-fold (50 ⁇ l+100 ⁇ l) in triplicates in flat-bottom micropates for a total of 24 dilutions.
• Microplates were incubated at 26° C. in a humidified BOD incubator. Wells were checked every 3-4 days for the presence of promastigotes for up to 20 days. The number of parasites in each infected ear was calculated according to the tissue mass and the last dilution theoretically containing 1 tissue amastigote.
• Dronedarone Lesion growth: Formulation #5 (aqueous gel) was very effective throughout treatment, close to the reference treatment #8 (intralesional Glucantime) (FIG. 9). Formulations #6 (hydrophilic waxy semi-solid) and #7 (emulsion o/w) induced increased lesion sizes. This was due to skin irritancy (see MEST FIG. 11), not to promoted parasite growth (see FIG. 10). Besides, suspension of #6 and #7 treatments on day 32 led to rapid decrease of ear thicknesses: afterwards:
• Dronedarone Parasite loads in the ear. On day 39 of infection (30 days of treatment), the parasite loads in the ears were significantly lower in the group topically treated with #5 (aqueous gel). Formulations #6 (hydrophilic waxy semi-solid) and #7 (emulsion o/w) did not alter the parasite loads (FIG. 10):
• the formulation 5 was the most promising in the control of lesion growth throughout the infection, the low parasite load at the end of the experiment was compatible with the controlled lesion growth, similar to achieved with 8 doses of 200 ⁇ g intralesional Glucantime. The animals looked happy throughout the treatment, gained weight normally and did not mount cutaneous sensitivity upon challenge.
• a strain of Leishmania amazonensis (MHOM/BR/73/M2269) were used. Dronedarone hydrochloride and meglumine antimoniate were supplied by Sanofi. Amphotericin B (desoxycholate) and miltefosine were bought at Sigma-Aldrich.
• the first cellular model which cultivates in a medium based on M199, allows defining the intrinsic activity of a substance on the parasite itself while the second cellular model integrates the capacity of the substance to cross the membrane of the macrophage and that of the phagolysosome.
• the used macrophages are cells RAW 264.7, which cultivate in medium based on DMEM with 10% of foetal serum of veal.
• the inhibition concentration of 50% of the growth of the parasites was determined after 72 hours of contact with dronedarone compared with meglumine antimoniate, miltefosine and amphotericin B, used as reference products.
• dronedarone On axenic amastigotes (test conditions 1/), dronedarone has a IC50 of 0.34 ⁇ 0.06 ⁇ M, while meglumine antimoniate has a IC50 of 908 ⁇ 159 ⁇ M, miltefosine a IC50 of 0.9 ⁇ 0.2 ⁇ M and amphotericin B a IC50 of 0.031 ⁇ 0.002 ⁇ M.

• the CMA of the dronedarone is 12.5 ⁇ M
• the CMA of the meglumine antimoniate is >200 ⁇ M.
• the CMA of the amphotericin B is 6.25 ⁇ M
• the CMA of the miltefosine is 50 ⁇ M
• Dronedarone presents a strong activity anti-leishmaniasis in vitro on both models axenic amastigotes and intramacrophagic amastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis, with lower IC50 within the micromolar range, what places it between amphotericin B and miltefosine, in term of activity. The intrinsic activity on the parasite itself is thus maintained when this one is protected in the phagolysosome inside the macrophage.
• dronedarone with meglumine antimoniate or with amphotericin B is additive type. No antagonistic effect was demonstrated, what suggests that a concomitant use of dronedarone with meglumine antimoniate or amphotericin B may be possible.
• dronedarone with miltefosine is of synergic type suggests that a concomitant use of dronedarone with miltefosine may be of interest for example to decrease the administrated doses.
• Dronedarone has a potential to treat Glucantime resistant strains as found eg. in Latin America.
• the test consists in long term culture of a L. amazonensis strain (promastygote form), in contact with increasing doses of dronedarone, starting with initial concentrations lower than the IC 50.
• the viability and pathogenicity of parasites is confirmed with moving the culture to axenic amastigotes and intramacrophagic amastigotes,and calculating the new inhibitive concentration for 50% of the population (IC50).
• Dronedarone hydrochloride and the meglumine antimoniate were supplied by Sanofi.
• the model of axenic amastigotes is cultivated in a medium based on M199 and allows defining the intrinsic activity of a substance on the parasite itself while the model of intramacrophagic amastigotes integrates the capacity of the substance to cross the membrane of the macrophage and that of the phagolysosome.
• the used macrophages are cells RAW 264.7, which cultivate in a medium based on DMEM with 10% of foetal serum of veal.
• the assays were realized by quantifying the parasitic DNA with the SYBRGREEN as described by Audisio and al. (Eur. J. Med. Chem., 52: 44-50, 2012).
• the inhibition concentration of 50% of the growth of the parasites was determined after 72 hours of contact with dronedarone compared with meglumine antimoniate and miltefosine, used as reference products.
• dronedarone does not present toxicity for macrophages to the concentration of 12.5 ⁇ M. Its cytotoxic concentration 50% (CC50) is thus superior to 12.5.
• the dronedarone presents a strong activity on intramacrophagic amastigotes of L. donovani similar to that of miltefosine, of the order of 1-2 ⁇ M, while it is weakly active on axenic amastigotes.
• the therapeutic index of dronedarone defined as the CC50 on intramacrophagic amastigotes of L. donovani /IC50 is thus superior to 7.
• the dronedarone presents a strong activity in vitro on the models of axenic amastigotes and intramacrophagic amastigotes of Leishmania major, with IC50 lower than 3 ⁇ M, what places it at a level of activity similar to that of miltefosine.
• the intrinsic activity on the parasite itself is thus maintained when this one is protected in the phagolysosome inside the macrophage.
• the therapeutic index of the dronedarone defined as the CC50 on intramacrophagic amastigotes of L. major /IC50 is thus superior to 9.
