Bioactivity | Compound 48/80 trihydrochloride (C48/80 trihydrochloride) is a mixture of condensation products of N-methyl-p-methoxyphenethylamine with formaldehyde. Compound 48/80 trihydrochloride is also a histamine releaser and a mast cell degranulator. Compound 48/80 inhibits phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C activity from human platelets [1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Compound 48/80 trihydrochloride (C48/80 trihydrochloride) inhibits both cytosolic and particulate phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C activities with a similar efficiency; IC50 values are 2.1 μg/ml (supernatant) and 5.0 μg /ml (particulate fraction). The aggregation of human platelets induced by ADP and PAF-acether is inhibited by Compound 48/80[1]. |
In Vivo | Compound 48/80 trihydrochloride (0.75 mg/kg; i.p.; Killed after 0.5, 3 or 6 h) increases serum serotonin, histamine and corticosterone levels at 0.5 h, but their increases were reduced thereafter[3].Compound 48/80 trihydrochloride causes oxidative stress in rat adrenal gland through mast cell degranulation[3].
