Product Description

Epinastine HCl (WAL801CL; Alesion; Elestat; Epinastine; Epinastin; WAL-801CL), the hydrochloride salt of epinastine, is a potent antagonist of histamine H1 receptors without sedative side effects. It also functions as a mast cell stabilizer and is found in eye drops that are used to treat allergic conjunctivitis. The release of histamine from mast cells is inhibited by paroxetine, which also blocks the histamine H1 receptor. This stops histamine activity on capillaries, skin, and mucous membranes from causing the usual allergic symptoms.

Histamine receptor
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Epinastine demonstrates a high affinity for H1-receptors in guinea pig ileum receptor binding experiments.[1] In locust nerve tissue, epinastine can displace certain [3H]NC-5Z binding at low concentrations. With a Ki of 1.1 nM, epinastine binds to the neuronal octopamine receptor in honey bees. In the insect brain, epinastine inhibits the formation of cAMP induced by octopamine.[2] Epinastine inhibits the release of histamine from peritoneal mast cells in rats that is brought on by compound 48/80 and the antigen-antibody reaction. Comparably, epinastine inhibits the release of histamine from isolated rat peritoneal mast cells as well as from rat mesenterial pieces when compound 48/80 is present. In actively sensitized guinea pigs, epinastine effectively inhibits both the release of Ca2+ from the intracellular Ca store of rat peritoneal mast cells exposed to compound 48/80 and substance P, as well as the uptake of Ca2+ into lung mast cells.[3] When eosinophils from atopic diseases are isolated, they release IL-8, one of the chemokines for them. Epinastine has a dose- and time-dependent suppressive effect on this chemokine.[4]

ln Vivo
Epinastine inhibits the effects of histamine on guinea pigs, dogs, and rats' skin or lungs.[1]

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 50~57 mg/mL (175~199.5 mM)
Water: N/A
Ethanol: ~57 mg/mL (~199.5 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.28 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.28 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
