| Bioactivity | Bepotastine besilate is a selective and orally active second-generation histamine H1 receptor antagonist, can suppress the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF). Bepotastine besilate has the potential for allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis and urticaria/pruritus research[1][2][3][4]. |
| Target | Histamine H1 receptor. |
| Invitro | Bepotastine besilate (10, 100, 1000 µM; preincubates for 120 min) decreases the release of histamine induced by A23187 treatment, which reaches a statistically significant reduces level at 1000 µM[1].Bepotastine besilate (50 µM; 1 h) suppresses the expression of NGF mRNA in NHEKs[2]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: |
| In Vivo | Bepotastine besilate (10 g/L; eye drop; 3 times at intervals of 20 min in one eye) demonstrates significant inhibition of PAF-induced conjunctival eosinophil infiltration[1].Bepotastine besilate (3 mg/kg; p.o.; once) suppresses scratching behavior to a frequency of 59.0 and a duration of 14.57 seconds, which are almost the same levels compares with the control[3].Bepotastine besilate (10 mg/kg; p.o.; once) significantly suppresses serum LTB 4 levels to 711.3 pg/mL at 1 h and 858.8 pg/mL at 2 h in NC/Nga mice with a rash[3].
