    Product Description

    Oxatomide is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist (Ki = 15 nM).1 It is selective for the histamine H1 receptor over muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs; Ki = 263 nM) but also inhibits the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT2 (Ki = 7 nM). Oxatomide inhibits histamine release induced by an anti-IgE antibody in isolated human lung fragments (IC50 = 4.5 nM) and degranulation of RBL-2H3 mast cells induced by A23187 (Item No. 22030).2,3 It also inhibits nitric oxide (NO) production induced by LPS in RAW 264.7 cells when used at a concentration of 50 µM, and superoxide production induced by N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP; Item No. 21495) or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; Item No. 10008014) in isolated rat neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner.4,5 Oxatomide reduces histamine-induced vascular permeability in mice (ED50 = 2.9 mg/kg).1 Formulations containing oxatomide have been used in the treatment of allergic symptoms.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
