Emedastine is a novel, potent, high affinity, selective, second generation H1-receptor antagonist with pre-clinically well-documented anti-allergic effects. Emedastine's affinity for H1-receptors is 1.3 ±0.1 nM, while its affinity for H2- and H3-receptors is significantly lower, with K1 values of 49,067 ± 11,113 nM and 12,430 ± 1,282 nM, respectively. Since emedastine exhibits pharmacodynamic qualities similar to those of cetirizine, it is a suitable substitute drug with H1-receptor antagonist qualities that is also safe. To support the possible advantages of cetirizine over emedastine following a single dose, more extensive research may be required.

Enzyme Assay |
Emedastine was significantly weaker at H2- (K1 = 49,067 +/- 11,113 nM) and H3- (Ki = 12,430 +/- 1,282 nM) receptors, but showed the highest affinity for H1-receptors (dissociation constant, Ki = 1.3 +/- 0.1 nM). The results showed that emedastine is a highly selective H1-receptor antagonist, with ratios of 37744, 9562, and 4 for H2:H1, H3:H1, and H2:H3 receptor affinities, respectively. Emedastine's H1-selectivity was significantly higher than pyrilamine's (H2:H1, H3:H1, and H2:H3 ratios of 11887, 12709, and 1, respectively). The antihistamines ketotifen (858, 1752, 0.5), levocabastine (420, 82, 5), pheniramine (430, 312, 1), chlorpheniramine (5700, 2216, 3), and antazoline (1163, 1110, 1) also demonstrated a notable lack of H1 selectivity in comparison to emedastine. Mededastine's ability to counteract histamine-induced phosphoinositide turnover in human trabecular meshwork cells was found to be potent (IC50 = 1.44 +/- 0.3 nM), which was in good agreement with its affinity for binding the H1 receptor site. These findings show that the most selective histamine antagonist for the H1-histamine receptor is emedastine, a histamine antagonist with high affinity and potency.

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation Emedastine is an antihistamine that is not approved for marketing in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but is available in other countries. Preliminary data indicate that oral administration of 2 mg daily produces low levels in milk and does not affect the breastfed infant. When used as an eye drop, emedastine would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. To substantially diminish the amount of drug that reaches the breastmilk after using eye drops, place pressure over the tear duct by the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue. ◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants A woman was prescribed emedastine difumarate 2 mg once daily and pranlukast hydrate 112.5 mg twice daily during pregnancy and postpartum. Her infant was breastfed and no adverse effects were noted. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. |

Additional Infomation |
Emedastine Difumarate is the difumarate salt form of emedastine, a second generation, selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist with anti-allergic activity. Emedastine reversibly and competitively blocks histamine by binding to H1 receptors, thus blocking its downstream activity. As a result, this agent interferes with mediator release from mast cells either by inhibiting calcium ion influx across mast cell/basophil plasma membrane or by inhibiting intracellular calcium ion release within the cells. In addition, emedastine may also inhibit the late-phase allergic reaction mediated through leukotrienes or prostaglandins, or by producing an anti-platelet activating factor effect. Upon ocular administration, emedastine causes a dose-dependent inhibition of histamine-stimulated vascular permeability in the conjunctiva. Emedastine does not affect adrenergic, dopamine, or serotonin receptors.
Drug Indication Symptomatic treatment of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
