Product Description
Levocabastine HCl (R 50547 hydrochloride) is a novel long acting, and selective antihistaminic (histamine H1-receptor antagonist) with anti-allergic activity. Also a neurotensin receptor subtype 2 (NTR2) antagonist (Ki = 17 nM for mNTR2).
Levocabastine hydrochloride is a synthetic piperidine derivative with antihistaminic properties. It is a second-generation histamine-1 (H1) receptor antagonist. Levocabastine is also a selective, high-affinity neurotensin receptor subtype 2 (NTR2) antagonist with a Ki of 17 nM for mouse NTR2. When applied locally to the eye as a topical solution, this agent reduces itching, rhinorrhea, and symptoms of allergic rhinitis or conjunctivitis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Histamine H1 receptor and neurotensin receptor subtype 2 (NTR2). Levocabastine is a potent and selective H1 receptor antagonist and a selective NTR2 antagonist with a Ki of 17 nM.
ln Vitro
Levocabastine hydrochloride (0-1000 μM; HEK-293 cells) suppresses, in a concentration-dependent manner, the binding of 125I-FN to the α4β1 integrin linked with SPA beads (IC50 = 406.2 μm [3]. In vitro, α4β1 integrin/VCAM-1-mediated cell adhesion is inhibited by levocabastine hydrochloride (0-1000 μM; 30 min; Jurkat cells and EoL-1 cells). Levocabastine inhibits the α4β1 integrin-dependent adhesion of Jurkat cells to VCAM-1, exhibiting an IC50 of 395.6 μM, and an IC50 of 403.6 μM for EoL-1 cells. Furthermore, it has been observed that Levocabastine can prevent human eosinophils from adhering to wells coated with VCAM-1 (IC50=443.7 μM) 3.
In vitro, Levocabastine acts as a potent and selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist. It is also a selective, high-affinity neurotensin receptor subtype 2 (NTR2) antagonist, with a Ki of 17 nM for mouse NTR2. The compound's potent and selective H1 receptor antagonist activity has been clinically applied as a topical treatment.
ln Vivo
In guinea pigs infected with the parainfluenza-3 (PI-3) virus, levocarbastine hydrochloride (R 50547; 0.25 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice daily for five days) suppresses the hyperresponsiveness of the airways caused by the virus [ 1]. Male C57BL/6J mice were injected intraperitoneally once with 0.05 mg/kg levocarbastine hydrochloride to prevent the anti-stress impact of β-LT on behavior [2]. In ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pigs, levocarbastine hydrochloride (500 µg/eye; eye drops; once) can cause allergic conjunctivitis (AC) and a considerable elevation of conjunctival VLA-4. [3].
In vivo, Levocabastine hydrochloride produces a noteworthy protection from allergic conjunctivitis and prevents the conjunctival elevation of VLA-4 as well as conjunctival eosinophil infiltration. It reduces itching, rhinorrhea, and symptoms of allergic rhinitis or conjunctivitis when applied locally to the eye. Levocabastine is a long-acting antihistamine.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell receptor binding assays for Levocabastine are performed using membrane preparations from cells expressing histamine H1 receptors or neurotensin receptor subtype 2 (NTR2). Radioligand binding studies are conducted using [³H]mepyramine for H1 or [³H]neurotensin for NTR2 as tracers. Membranes are incubated with the radioligand and varying concentrations of Levocabastine (0.001-100 μM). Nonspecific binding is determined with excess unlabeled mepyramine or neurotensin. After incubation at 25°C for 60 minutes, bound and free ligand are separated by filtration, and radioactivity is counted. Ki values are calculated from competition curves.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Levocabastine are performed using cells expressing histamine H1 receptors. Cells are treated with Levocabastine at concentrations ranging from 0.001-100 μM. Inhibition of histamine-induced calcium mobilization is measured using fluorescent calcium indicators (e.g., Fluo-4). IC₅₀ values for H1 receptor antagonism are calculated from dose-response curves. Alternatively, inhibition of histamine-induced cAMP accumulation is measured.

In vivo animal studies are conducted in models of allergic conjunctivitis or allergic rhinitis. Levocabastine is administered topically as eye drops or intranasally. Efficacy endpoints include reduction in itching, rhinorrhea, conjunctival eosinophil infiltration, and VLA-4 levels. The compound's long-acting antihistaminic activity is evaluated.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Levocabastine hydrochloride has a molecular weight of 456.98 and a molecular formula of C26H30ClFN2O2. It is also known as R 50547 hydrochloride. The compound is a potent and selective H1 receptor antagonist and a selective NTR2 antagonist with a Ki of 17 nM.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Levocabastine is generally well tolerated as a topical preparation. Common adverse effects include mild ocular irritation. No significant systemic toxicity has been reported at therapeutic doses. The compound is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity.
