| Targets |
The targets of Andolast include phosphodiesterase (PDE) and potassium channels. Andolast inhibits cAMP-phosphodiesterase with an IC₅₀ of 50 μM. By inhibiting PDE, Andolast prevents the breakdown of cyclic AMP (cAMP), leading to increased intracellular cAMP levels. Elevated cAMP activates protein kinase A (PKA), which in turn mediates smooth muscle relaxation and anti-inflammatory effects. Andolast has also been identified as a potassium channel opener, specifically a calcium-activated potassium channel opener. Potassium channel opening contributes to smooth muscle relaxation and bronchodilation. The compound's dual mechanism of action makes it effective in treating asthma and allergic conditions.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Andolast inhibits cAMP-phosphodiesterase with an IC₅₀ of 50 μM. This inhibition leads to increased cAMP levels in target cells, which promotes smooth muscle relaxation and reduces inflammatory responses. The compound's anti-allergic effects can be evaluated in vitro by measuring its ability to inhibit histamine release from mast cells or to suppress cytokine production in activated immune cells. Andolast's potassium channel opening activity can be assessed using patch-clamp electrophysiology or fluorescence-based membrane potential assays. The compound demonstrates anti-allergic activity in various in vitro models of allergic inflammation.

| ln Vivo |
Andolast (CR 2039) (intravenous or intramuscular injection) reduces passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in rats with an ED50 of 0.1 mg/kg[1]. CR 2039 (10-100 mg/kg; intravenously or intramuscularly) reduces alterations in microvascular permeability in a sensitized guinea pig model of allergic conjunctivitis [1]. CR 2039 (0-1000 μM; intravenous injection) dose-dependently inhibits guinea pig lung cAMP-phosphodiesterase with an IC50 value of 50 μM [1].
In vivo, Andolast has demonstrated efficacy in animal models of asthma and allergic inflammation. The compound is administered orally and has been shown to improve airflow and control asthma symptoms. In clinical studies, Andolast proved significantly more effective than placebo in improving airflow and in controlling asthma symptoms both during day and night. The compound has been investigated up to Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of rhinitis. These studies support the compound's potential as an anti-allergic therapeutic. Further in vivo studies are needed to fully characterize its efficacy in various allergic conditions. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding studies for Andolast focus on its phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity. PDE enzyme activity can be measured using colorimetric or radiometric assays that detect the hydrolysis of cAMP or cGMP. Andolast's IC₅₀ of 50 μM for cAMP-PDE inhibition is determined from dose-response curves. Selectivity profiling against different PDE isoforms (PDE1-PDE11) can be performed to determine the compound's specificity. Potassium channel opening activity can be assessed using electrophysiological techniques such as patch-clamp or two-electrode voltage clamp in cells expressing potassium channels. These methods are for research purposes only.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for Andolast evaluate its anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects. Mast cells or basophils are treated with Andolast at various concentrations and stimulated with allergens or calcium ionophores. Histamine release is measured by ELISA or fluorometric assays. Cytokine production (e.g., IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, TNF-α) can be measured in activated immune cells using ELISA or multiplex assays. Smooth muscle cell relaxation can be assessed by measuring intracellular calcium levels or cell contraction assays. Cell viability assays (MTT or CCK-8) are performed to evaluate cytotoxicity. Standard cell culture conditions are used with appropriate media and supplementation.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male Hartley guinea pig (300-500 g) [1]
Doses: 10-100 mg/kg Route of Administration: intramuscularinjection; IV Experimental Results: Demonstrated dependence on lgE induced by aerosolized antigen in anesthetized guinea pigs Dose-related significant protective effect against bronchial allergic reactions. Dose-dependently delays the onset of aerosolized antigen-induced bronchoconstriction. In vivo animal studies for Andolast utilize models of allergic airway inflammation. Mice or rats are sensitized and challenged with allergens (e.g., ovalbumin) to induce airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation. Andolast is administered orally at various doses (typically 1-100 mg/kg). Airway resistance is measured using plethysmography, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is analyzed for inflammatory cell infiltration and cytokine levels. Lung histology is performed to assess tissue inflammation and remodeling. Clinical studies in humans have demonstrated efficacy in asthma and rhinitis. All procedures must comply with institutional animal care guidelines. |
