| Targets |
Cloperastine hydrochloride targets the hERG (human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene) potassium channel, with an IC50 of 27 nM for inhibiting hERG K+ current in a concentration-dependent manner. As an anti-tussive agent, its primary mechanism of action involves central antitussive effects, likely through modulation of cough reflex pathways. The compound is a type of flavonoid.

| ln Vitro |
Cloperastine, whose IC50 value is 27 nM, inhibits hERG K+ current in a concentration-inhibitory manner[1]. The antitussive drug cloperastine hydrochloride shortens ischemic tissue in addition to its antitussive and antiedematous properties. The medication cleopatrastine hydrochloride has antitussive central effects as well as antihistamine and papaverine-like activity that can provide comparable but non-narcotic effects [2].
In vitro, Cloperastine hydrochloride inhibits hERG K+ current with an IC50 of 27 nM in a concentration-dependent manner. This property is relevant for its cardiac safety profile, as hERG inhibition is associated with QT prolongation risk. The compound's anti-tussive activity has been demonstrated in preclinical models. |
| ln Vivo |
In anesthetized guinea pigs, cloperastine hydrochloride at a dose of 1 mg/kg prolongs the QT interval and monophasic action potential (MAP) duration without changing the PR interval or QRS width [1]. The intraperitoneal toxicity of cloperastine hydrochloride to mice and mice is relatively low, while the oral toxicity of cloperastine hydrochloride and findizole preparations is relatively low. Under the two routes, the LD50 of cloperastine hydrochloride in mice surpasses 1000 and 2000 mg/ kg[2].
In vivo, Cloperastine hydrochloride is used as an anti-tussive drug as an over-the-counter cold medicine. It is effective in suppressing cough in patients with respiratory conditions. The compound is available in oral formulations for symptomatic relief of cough. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro assay for Cloperastine hydrochloride involves measuring its inhibition of hERG potassium channel currents. Patch-clamp electrophysiology is performed on cells expressing the hERG channel. The compound is applied at varying concentrations, and the inhibition of hERG current is measured. The IC50 of 27 nM is determined from dose-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for Cloperastine hydrochloride are not typically performed for its anti-tussive activity, as it acts centrally. hERG inhibition assays are conducted using heterologous expression systems to assess cardiac safety.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for Cloperastine hydrochloride are not detailed in the available sources. The compound is an approved anti-tussive drug. Preclinical studies would have been conducted in animal models of cough to assess efficacy and safety.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Cloperastine hydrochloride is administered orally. It has a molecular weight of 366.33 g/mol. The compound is soluble in DMSO. It should be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Specific PK parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and clearance are not detailed in the available sources.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Cloperastine hydrochloride is generally well-tolerated. As an anti-tussive agent, common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, and gastrointestinal disturbances. The compound inhibits hERG K+ current with an IC50 of 27 nM, which may be associated with QT prolongation risk.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
