In Vitro

Mepyramine maleate is an antagonist of histamine H1 receptor, with Kds of 0.8 nM, 5200 nM and >3000 nM for H1, H2, and H3 receptor, respectively[1], and a pKd of 9.4 for H1 receptor[2]. Mepyramine binds to the H1 receptor with different Kds in Guinea pig brain (0.8 nM), rat brain (9.1 nM) and DDT1-MF-2 and BC3H1 cell (276 nM)[1]. Mepyramine decreases the InsP levels in CHO-gpH1 cells, with log EC50 of -7.94 ± 0.11, and reduces the the maximal response to ATP in CHO-gpH1 cells[3].

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

In Vivo

Mepyramine obviously decreases the second phase of nociceptive response via i.p at 10 and 20 mg/kg, but shows no significant effect at 5 mg/kg in rats[4].

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 (6.23 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 (6.23 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.

Cell Assay
[3]

Briefly, cells are seeded in 24-well cluster dishes and cultured for 24 h (70-80% confluence) in DMEM. Cells are then washed, and the medium is replaced for DMEM without calf serum plus the addition of myo-[3H]inositol (2 μCi/mL) and cultured for 24 h. Thereafter, the medium is aspirated and replaced with DMEM without calf serum containing 10 mM LiCl and incubated for 20 min. Cells are then stimulated for 20 min with histamine in concentrations ranging from 1 nM to 100 μM in a final volume of 300 μL in the presence or absence of [3H]inositol the concentrations indicated in each particular experiment. The incubation is stopped by the addition of 900 μL of cold chloroform, methanol, 0.12 M HCl (1:2:1 v/v, freshly prepared), and phases are split by the addition of 300 μL of water and 300 μL of chloroform. The mixture is then centrifuged at 1500 × g for 10 min, and the total water-soluble inositol phosphate fraction is purified by anion exchange chromatography. Radioactivity of the eluted fractions is measured using a liquid scintillation counter. Results are expressed as the ratio obtained when total [3H]inositol phosphate radioactivity is normalized to total [3H]inositol radioactivity recovered from the initial water wash of the columns[3].

Animal Administration
[4]

Rats[4]
Healthy adult male albino Wistar rats weighing 200-220 g are maintained in polypropylene cages with 6 rats in each cage with food and water available ad libitum. Mepyramine is dissolved in normal saine. Mepyramine at doses of 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg and intraperitoneally injected 30 min before induction of nociception. Physostigmine at doses of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mg/kg, and atropine at a dose of 2 mg/kg, are subcutaneously administered 20 and 40 min before induction of formalin-induced pain, respectively. Atropine (2 mg/kg, s.c.) is injected 20 min before subcutaneous injection of physostigmine (0.1 mg/kg). In combined treatment, intraperitoneal injections of mepyramine (10 mg/kg) and famotidine (20 mg/kg) are performed 10 min before physostigmine (0.1 mg/kg, s.c.) and 10 min after atropine (0.2 mg/kg, s.c.) administrations. Drug solutions are intraperitoneally injected in a volum of 1 mL/kg, using a 25-gauge injection needle. Subcutaneous injections of drug solutions are perfoemed in a constant volume 0.2 mL per rat at the neck region using a 27-gauge injection needle[4].

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.
