| Bioactivity | Naphazoline (Naphthazoline) is a potent α-adrenergic receptor agonist. Naphazoline reduces vascular hyperpermeability and promotes vasoconstriction. Naphazoline reduces the levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6), cytokines (IFN-γ and IL-4), IgE, GMCSF, and NGF。Naphazoline can be used for non-bacterial conjunctivitis research[1][2]. |
| In Vivo | Naphazoline (0.2 mg/kg, 10 µl per eye; IP, once) reduces histamine or antigen-induced conjunctival vascular hyperpermeability in mice, and reduces conjunctivitis in mice via effects on inflammation, NGF and VEGF[1]. Animal Model: |
