Description

Guaifenesin (Guaiacol glyceryl ether), a constituent of guaiac resin from the wood of Guajacum officinale Linné, is an expectorant. Guaifenesin can alleviate cough discomfortby increasing sputum volume and decreasing its viscosity, thereby promoting effective cough[1][2].

In Vitro

Guaifenesin (2 or 20 µg/mL, 6-48 h) inhibits mucin release in epithelial cultures[3].
Guaifenesin (10-300 μM, 3-24 h) inhibits IL-13-induced MUC5AC content and secretion in primary human airway epithelial cells[4].

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

In Vivo

Guaifenesin (50 mg/kg, p.o.; or 10 mg/kg, i.v.; rats) shows a t1/2 of 45.6 h (p.o.), and 49.0 h (i.v.), AUC of 2469 (p.o.) and 711 (i.v.) μg·min/mL[5].

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.
