    Product Description

    Cyclizine is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist.1,2,3 It binds selectively to histamine H1 receptors (Kd = 5 nM) over H2 and H3 receptors (Kds = 1,600 and >580 nM, respectively).3 Cyclizine inhibits anti-IgE-induced histamine release from isolated human lung fragments with an IC50 value of 5.42 µM but induces histamine release with a 50% release concentration (RC50) of 10.81 µM.4 It reduces LPS-induced nitrite accumulation and protein levels of induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in RAW 264.7 cells when used at a concentration of 100 nM.2 Cyclizine (10 and 20 mg/kg) reduces immobility in the forced swim test in rats.5
