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

Biological Activity
|
H1 Receptor |
Meclizine (Meclozine; 50 μM; 24 hours) significantly increases cell survival in STHdh 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 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].
