Product Description

Hydroxyzine is a potent histamine H1-receptor antagonist which inhibits the binding of [3H]pyrilamine/[3H]desloratadine to human histamine H1 receptor with IC50 of 10 nM/19 nM. In pretreated bladder slices, hydroxyzine reduces serotonin release induced by carbachol (10 μM) by 34% at 10 μM, 25% at 1 μM, and 17% at 0.1 μM for a duration of 60 minutes. In Lewis rats with allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), hydroxyzine (0.1 mM) treatment reduces mast cell degranulation by 70% and the course and severity of EAE by 50%. The primary metabolite of Hydroxyzine, cetirizine, does not make one drowsy.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
H1 Receptor
ln Vitro
Hydroxyzine dihydrochloride, when applied to pretreated bladder slices for 60 minutes, reduces serotonin release induced by carbachol (10 μM) by 34% at 10 μM, 25% at 1 μM, and 17% at 0.1 μM[1].
ln Vivo
Hydroxyzine dihydrochloride (12.5 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg, and 50 mg/kg intraperitoneally) only significantly increases the effect of morphine on the vocalization after-discharge, which in rats is thought to be the affective component of pain. It has minimal direct analgesic activity. In the tail-flick test, hydroxyzine dihydrochloride (50 mg/kg i.p.) amplifies morphine, whereas hydroxyzine (12.5 mg/kg i.p.) reduces morphine antinociception in rats[3].

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.6673 mL 13.3365 mL 26.6731 mL
5 mM 0.5335 mL 2.6673 mL 5.3346 mL
10 mM 0.2667 mL 1.3337 mL 2.6673 mL

*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
