Description

Astemizole (R 43512), a second-generation antihistamine agent to diminish allergic symptoms with a long duration of action, is a histamine H1-receptor antagonist, with an IC50 of 4 nM. Astemizole also shows potent hERG K+ channel blocking activity with an IC50 of 0.9 nM. Astemizole has antipruritic effects[1][2].

IC50 & Target

H1 Receptor

 

In Vivo

Astemizole (p.o., 10 and 30 mg/kg) and (i.v., 1 and 3 mg/kg) has no effect on respiratory rate, heart rate and blood pressure, and even at high doses of 30 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg, also has no effect on body temperature and exercise capacity in male common marmosets. But Astemizole can prolong the QT interval and induce premature ventricular contractions at 30 mg/kg (po) and 1 mg/kg (iv)[3].
Astemizole (p.o., 3 and 30 mg/kg) shows that the pre-drug control values (C) of the idioventricular rate, QT interval and QTcF are 31 beats/min, 319 ms and 256 at dose of 3 mg/kg, while those are 31 beats/min, 331 ms and 270 at dose of 30 mg/kg, respectively in mice. Moreover, Astemizole at a dose of 30 mg/kg (po) may cause tip-twisting ventricular tachycardia by inhibiting hERG K+ channels[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: ≥ 6.25 mg/mL (13.63 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 6.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (62.5 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 6.25 mg/mL (13.63 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 6.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (62.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
