Bioactivity | Compound 48/80 (Poly-p-methoxyphenethylmethylamine) is widely used in animal and tissue models as a "selective" mast cell activator. Compound 48/80 acts at the mast cell membrane to stimulate trimeric G-proteins and induces degranulation via phospholipase C and D pathways[1][2]. |
Target | Mast Cell Activator |
Invitro | Compound 48/80 (poly-p-methoxyphenethylmethylamine), an agent commonly used to trigger degranulation of mast cells, at concentrations of 5-20 μg/ml suppresses the proliferation of L1210 and Friend leukemic cells in vitro, inducing the formation of giant cells, which are polykaryons[3]. |
