Product Description

Lomerizine HCl (KB-2796; Migsis; KB2796; KB 2796), the dihydrochloride salt of Lomerizine, is a diphenylpiperazine-based, relatively new and potent L- and T-type CCB/calcium channel blocker used for the treatment of migraine. In cultured retinal neurons of rats, glutamate-induced neurotoxicity is significantly reduced by memerizine (0.1 μM and 1 μM). In rat cultured retinal neurons, metirizinine (1 μM) also shows protective effects against neurotoxicity induced by kainate and N-methyl-D-aspartate.

Targets
L-type calcium channel; T-type calcium channel
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Lomerizine is an antagonist of transient receptor potential channel 5 as well as voltage-gated calcium channels of the L and T types. A dual L/T-type channel blocker called memerizine is used to prevent migraines. In order to illustrate how well Lomerizine limits intracellular [Ca2+], its capacity to prevent glutamate-induced motor neuron death and the resulting increase in cytosolic [Ca2+] is assessed. At a threshold concentration of 0.01 μM and an IC50 of 1.9 μM, metirizine inhibits both low- and high-voltage activated Ca2+ currents in dissociated rat brain neurons.Additionally, 1 μM metirizine inhibits H2O2-induced Ca2+ influx in hippocampal neurons. Pre-treatment with 1 μM Lomerizine inhibits the rise in cytosolic [Ca2+] that occurs with glutamate treatment and significantly reduces the acute death of motor neurons in spinal cord-DRG cultures exposed to 50 μM glutamate, a concentration that kills about 40% of motor neurons in the culture by 6 hours. To significantly stop the mitochondrial fragmentation caused by SOD1G93A, 0.5 μM of metirizine is enough[1]. In K562/ADM cells, memerizine increases the cytotoxicity of Adriamycin (ADM) and the apoptosis brought on by ADM or vincristine (VCR). Lomerizine lowers the IC50 value of ADM from 79.03 μM to 28.14, 8.16, and 3.16 μM at concentrations of 3, 10, and 30 μM, respectively. In K562/ADM cells, memerizine increases the intracellular accumulation of ADM and inhibits Rh123's efflux. Following a 72-hour course of metirizine treatment, no alterations in P-gp expression are seen. Lomerizine inhibits P-gp function, which has a potent reversal effect on MDR in K562/ADM cells[2].

ln Vivo
The neuroprotective effects of chemical reagents acting on the Ca2+-signaling pathway, including CaN activation, on NMDA-induced RGC death are investigated in order to ascertain whether Ca2+ signaling molecules mediate NMDA-induced neurotoxicity in p50-deficient mice. A week prior to receiving a 5 nM NMDA injection, the p50-deficient mice, who exhibit normal RGC survival at 2 months of age, receive daily intraperitoneal pretreatments with an NMDA antagonist (MK801 or Memantine), a calcium blocker (Lomerizine), and a CaN inhibitor (Tacrolimus). When KO mice receive long-term treatment with either Lomerizine or Tacrolimus for six months, the number of surviving RGCs increases (p<0.0001)[3]. At 15 and 30 minutes after injection, respectively, memerizine (KB-2796; 0.3 and 1 mg/kg, intravenously) dramatically increases cerebral blood flow in a dose-dependent manner. In the ipsilateral frontoparietal cortex, memerizine (1 mg/kg, i.v.) dramatically reduces the expression of c-Fos-like immunoreactivity[4].
Cell Assay
Adriamycin (ADM) cytotoxicity is measured using the MTT assay to ascertain the effect of metirizine. Through flow cytometry, the impact of metirizine (3, 10 and 30 μM) on the apoptosis instigated by vincristine (VCR) and ADM in K562/ADM cells is identified. Fluorescence spectrophotometry is used to quantify ADM's intracellular build-up. In K562/ADM cells, Rhodamine 123 (Rh123) efflux and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression are examined using flow cytometry[2].
Animal Protocol
Mice: Pretreatment with memantine (10 mg/kg), MK-801 (0.5 mg/kg), merimerizine (1 mg/kg), or tacrolimus (2, 0.5, and 0.2 mg/kg) is administered intraperitoneally every day for one week prior to the NMDA injection in mice with p50 deficiency and mice in the wild type as a pretreatment. Five nanograms of NMDA, which is comparatively low for producing neurotoxicity, is injected intravitreously into these mice[3].
Rats: Male Wistar rats weighing 250–350 g are kept in a room with air conditioning that is 25±0°C and 55±5% humid. They are also provided food and water on demand. One milliliter per kilogram of body weight is administered intravenously (IV). In anesthetized rats, the effects of memerizine (0.3 mg/kg, i.v., or 1 mg/kg, i.v.) are assessed using laser Doppler flowmetry (CBFLDF) to measure cerebral cortical blood flow[4].
