| Bioactivity | Cyclizine, a piperazine-derivative, is a potent and selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist. Cyclizine can be used for the research of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Cyclizine (100 μM) significantly inhibits nitrite accumulation and iNOS protein levels in the LPS-stimulated in RAW 264.7 cells supernatants[1].Cyclizine inhibits anti-IgE-induced histamine release from isolated human lung fragments, with an IC50 of 5.42 µM[2]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | Cyclizine (1, 10 mg/kg) enhances locomotor activity of mice in a dose-dependent manner[3]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
