Meclizine dihydrochloride
Based on 5 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Meclizine (Meclozine) dihydrochloride, an antihistamine, reversibly inhibits the interaction of histamine at the H1 receptors. Meclizine dihydrochloride is a member of the piperazine class of H1 antagonists. Meclizine dihydrochloride is an effective anti-motion sickness agent. Meclizine dihydrochloride crosses the blood-brain barrier. Meclizine dihydrochloride can be used for the research of polyQ toxicity disorders, such as Huntington's disease. Meclizine dihydrochloride is an agonist ligand for mouse constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and an inverse agonist for Human CAR.

Biological Activity
|
H1 Receptor |
Meclizine (Meclozine; 50 μM; 24 hours) dihydrochloride significantly increases cell survival in STHdhQ111/111 cells at 24 h after the removal of serum, evidently by suppressing apoptosis, based on caspase 3 and 7 cleavage. The rescue is dose-dependent with an EC50 of 17.3 μm, and a maximum efficacy of 218% increased survival over vehicle. Meclizine dihydrochloride protects striatal cells expressing polyglutamine (polyQ)-expanded huntingtin from serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis of mutant (STHdhQ111/111) and wild-type (STHdhQ7/7) striatal cells[2].
