Doxylamine succinate is a first-generation antihistamine and acts as a histamine H1 receptor antagonist. Doxylamine succinate is orally active, possessing analgesic and hypnotic activities. Doxylamine succinate enhances the activities of CYP2B, CYP2A, CYP3A and thyroxine-glucuronosyltransferase via promoting substrate hydroxylation and thyroxine metabolic pathways. Doxylamine succinate decreases serum thyroxine (T4) level and elevates serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level. Doxylamine succinate induces liver enlargement and increases the activities of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450, cytochrome b5 and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. Doxylamine succinate can be used for the research of nausea, allergy, insomnia.

In Vivo

Doxylamine succinate (administered daily via diet for 7 or 15 days at doses of 40-1500 ppm) acts as a phenobarbital-type inducer of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 in B6C3F1 mice, with a maximum 38-fold induction of CYP2B activity; at the highest dose, it also alters thyroid hormone homeostasis by decreasing serum T4 and increasing serum TSH[1].
Doxylamine succinate (1-2 mg; 4% solution (25 μL); oral administration; intravenous injection; intranasal administration; single dose) shows a bioavailability of 70.8% via intranasal delivery in male Sprague-Dawley rats, with rapid absorption and no nasal epithelial damage[3].

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

Animal Model: B6C3F1/CrlBR VAF/Plus (male and female, 45-52 days old)[1]
Dosage: 40, 375, 750, 1500 ppm (dietary, free base equivalent); 10, 86, 173, 349 mg/kg/day (male) (7 days); 9, 84, 166, 395 mg/kg/day (male) (15 days); 10, 102, 198, 416 mg/kg/day (female) (7 days); 12, 104, 204, 446 mg/kg/day (female) (15 days)
Administration: dietary; daily; 7 or 15 days
Result: Elevated liver weight significantly in a dose-related manner at ≥ 375 ppm in both sexes following 7‑day and 15‑day treatments.
Induced hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 and overall hepatic metabolic activity dose‑dependently in all treated animals, strongly upregulating the functions of CYP2B, CYP3A and CYP2A subfamilies.
Increased thyroxine‑glucuronosyltransferase activity with obvious sex and dose differences, and raised adjusted total hepatic activity.
Disrupted thyroid endocrine homeostasis by elevating serum TSH, lowering serum T4 universally, and causing only slight T3 reduction in high‑dose females.

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 (6.44 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 (6.44 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.
