Product Description

Ketotifen Fumarate (HC20511; Ketotifene, Zaditor, Zaditen, Ketotiphen), the fumaric acid salt of ketotifen, is a second-generation and noncompetitive H1-antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer used to treat allergic symptoms and to prevent asthma attacks. It comes in two forms and is most frequently sold as a salt that contains fumaric acid, ketotifen fumarate. It is used to treat allergic conjunctivitis, or itchy red eyes brought on by allergies, in its ophthalmic form. When taken orally, it helps prevent asthma attacks.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Histamine 1; SARS-CoV-2; Influenza virus
ln Vitro
Ketotifen (0-100 μM; 2 or 4 days) inhibits SARS-CoV-2 with an EC50 of 48.9 μM; when co-administered with 25, 50, and 100 μM Indomethacin, respectively, increases the percentage inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 to 79%, 83%, and 93%[3].
Ketotifen (0-50 μM; 24 h) demonstrates comparatively low cytotoxicity in MDCK cells (EC50=291 μM) and has inhibitory activity against PR8, pH1N1, and H3N2 with EC50s of 5.9 μM, 33.7 μM, and 48.5 μM, respectively[4].
ln Vivo
Ketotifen (80 mg/kg; orally for 3 days) lowers mortality and end organ damage in mice with influenza virus infection[4].
Ketotifen fumarate (0.4 mg/kg; intraperitoneal; daily for 10 days) lowers the incidence and severity of encephalomyelitis (EAE)[5].
Animal Protocol
Female C57BL/6 mice (4-6 weeks; intranasal infection with 1×103 TCID50 of PR8 in 30 μL of DMEM)
80 mg/kg
i.g.; daily for 3 days

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~8 mg/mL (~18.8 mM)
Water: <1 mg/mL
Ethanol: <1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.88 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 25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.88 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 25.0 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.

Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.3502 mL 11.7509 mL 23.5018 mL
5 mM 0.4700 mL 2.3502 mL 4.7004 mL
10 mM 0.2350 mL 1.1751 mL 2.3502 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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.

Reconstitution Calculator allows you to calculate the volume of solvent required to reconstitute your vial.

  • Enter the mass of the reagent and the desired reconstitution concentration as well as the correct units
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer appears in the Volume (to add to vial) box
