Epinastine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Epinastine (WAL801) is a selective and orally active histamine H1 receptor antagonist, CD96/PVR inhibitor and mast cell stabilizer. Epinastine has high affinity for neuronal octopamine receptors in locusts (Ki = 2 nM) and honeybees (Ki = 1.1 nM). Epinastine hydrochloride inhibits TARC, IL-8, and IL-4. Epinastine activates anti-colon cancer immunity and inhibits Substance P (HY-P0201)-induced scratching behavior and increased vascular permeability. Epinastine can be used in the research of allergic diseases.

Epinastine (50-100 μM) inhibits histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells induced by antigen-antibody reaction[1].
Epinastine shows high affinity for neuronal octopamine receptors in locusts (Ki = 2 nM) and honeybees (Ki = 1.1 nM), specifically displaces [3H]NC-5Z binding to these receptors[2].
Epinastine (1-25 μg/mL; 3-24 h) dose- and time-dependently suppresses constitutive and Calcium ionophore-induced IL-8 release from human eosinophils of atopic patients[3].
Epinastine (1 μM; preincubation for 15 min, then incubation for 19 h) tends to inhibit PHA (HY-N7038)-induced IL-4 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from asthmatic patients[4].
Epinastine (0.1 μM - 10 μM; 24 h) inhibits IgE secretion from rat IgE-producing hybridoma FE-3 cells[5].

Concentration:1 μM
-
Incubation Time:15 min (preincubation) + 19 h (incubation with PHA/HDM)
-
Result:Tended to inhibit PHA-induced IL-4 mRNA expression (1.26 vs 0.74).
Had no significant effect on HDM-induced IL-4 mRNA expression.
Epinastine (2-6 mg/kg; i.p.; 14 days) significantly inhibits tumor growth in C57BL/6N mice bearing MC38 tumors, enhances infiltration and IFN-γ secretion of CD8+ T cells and NK cells in tumor tissues, and has no toxicity to major organs[8].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.03 mM); Clear solution
