Cat. No.: HY-B0157A Purity: 99.92%
COA Handling Instructions

Ketotifen (HC 20-511) fumarate is an orally active second-generation noncompetitive histamine 1 (H1) receptor blocker and mast cell stabilizer. Ketotifen fumarate can block 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD) in vitro. Ketotifen fumarate also has antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza virus. Ketotifen fumarate can be used to the research of autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and asthma attack prevention.

Ketotifen fumarate can block 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD) in vitro. Ketotifen fumarate also has antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza virus. Ketotifen fumarate can be used to the research of autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and asthma attack prevention[1][2][3][4].

H1 Receptor

 

In Vitro

Ketotifen (0-100 μM; 2 or 4 days) inhibits SARS-CoV-2 with an EC50 of 48.9 μM; and increases the percentage inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 to 79%, 83% and 93% when co-administers with 25, 50 and 100 μM Indomethacin, respectively[3].
Ketotifen (0-50 μM; 24 h) has inhibitory activity against PR8, pH1N1 and H3N2 with EC50s of 5.9 μM, 33.7 μM and 48.5 μM, respectively; and exhibits relatively low cytotoxicity in MDCK cells (EC50=291 μM)[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Ketotifen (80 mg/kg; i.g.; daily for 3 days) reduces end organ damage and mortality in mice infected with influenza virus[4].
Ketotifen fumarate (0.4 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 10 days) reduces encephalomyelitis (EAE) prevalence and severity[5].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Female C57BL/6 mice (4-6 weeks; intranasal infection with 1×103 TCID50 of PR8 in 30 μL of DMEM)[4]
Dosage: 80 mg/kg
Administration: i.g.; daily for 3 days
Result: Reduced end organ damage and mortality in infected mice.
Animal Model: Female C57BL/6 mice (5-6 weeks old; subcutaneously immunized with 150 μg of MOG35-55 peptide containing 4 mg/mL of Mycobacterium tuberculosis)[5]
Dosage: 0.4 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; daily for 10 days (from the 7th day of infection)
Result: Reduced EAE prevalence and severity; reduced oxidative stress status and inflammasome activation at the CNS; reduced the amount of T cells, especially Th1, in the CNS; downregulated local mRNA expression for mast cell enzymes and preserves blood-CNS barrier permeability; triggered lymphocyte accumulation in draining lymph nodes.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.88 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.88 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
