Bioactivity | Fexofenadine (MDL-16455) is an orally active and nonsedative H1 receptor antagonist. Fexofenadine can be used in allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticarial research[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Fexofenadine (1-100 µM; 1 h) inhibits the expression of IL-6 protein in nasal fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner[2].Fexofenadine (1-100 µM; 1 h) blocks phosphorylated p38 activation in histamine-induced nasal fibroblasts, but shows no effect on either pERK or pJNK[2].
