Product Description
Naphazoline (Naphthazoline) nitrate is an alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist (activator). Naphazoline nitrate reduces vascular permeability and promotes vasoconstriction. Naphazoline nitrate reduces levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6), cytokines (IFN-γ and IL-4), IgE, GMCSF and NGF. Naphazoline nitrate may be utilized in study/research of nonbacterial conjunctivitis.
Naphazoline nitrate (CAS#: 5144-52-5) is the nitrate salt form of naphazoline, an α-adrenergic receptor agonist. It is a sympathomimetic agent that works by constricting blood vessels, thereby reducing inflammation and swelling. Naphazoline nitrate reduces vascular hyperpermeability and promotes vasoconstriction. It is used as a decongestant in eye drops and nasal sprays.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Naphazoline nitrate targets α-adrenergic receptors. It is an α-adrenergic receptor agonist. By stimulating adrenergic receptors, it produces vasoconstriction and reduces vascular hyperpermeability. The compound reduces the levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6). It produces inotropic effects via α-adrenoceptor stimulation. Naphazoline nitrate is a sympathomimetic agent.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Naphazoline nitrate is an α-adrenergic receptor agonist. It reduces vascular hyperpermeability and promotes vasoconstriction. It reduces the levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6). The compound produces inotropic effects via α-adrenoceptor stimulation. Detailed in vitro data are available in the primary literature. Naphazoline nitrate is a well-characterized α-adrenergic agonist.
ln Vivo
By influencing inflammation, NGF, and VEGF Mouse conjunctivitis, naphazine nitrate (0.2 mg/kg, 10 µl per eye; IP once) decreases conjunctival vascular hyperpermeability in mice caused by histamines or antigens[1].
In vivo, Naphazoline nitrate is used as a decongestant in eye drops and nasal sprays. It constricts blood vessels, reducing inflammation and swelling. The compound has been studied for the treatment of seasonal allergy rhinitis. It has also been investigated as a radioprotector for mice treated with ionizing radiation. Naphazoline nitrate is a clinically used topical decongestant.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays for Naphazoline nitrate typically use membrane preparations from cells expressing α₁- or α₂-adrenergic receptors. Radioligand binding is performed using [³H]-prazosin (α₁) or [³H]-clonidine (α₂) as tracers. Membranes are incubated with radioligand and varying concentrations of Naphazoline nitrate in assay buffer at room temperature for 60-90 minutes. Nonspecific binding is determined using excess phentolamine. Bound radioactivity is measured by filtration and scintillation counting. Ki values are calculated from competition curves. Functional assays measure receptor-mediated calcium mobilization.
Cell Assay
For cell-based assays, cells expressing α-adrenergic receptors are cultured in appropriate medium. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and loaded with calcium-sensitive dye. Cells are treated with Naphazoline nitrate at various concentrations (0.001-100 μM) and calcium flux is measured. IC₅₀ and EC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves. Cell viability is assessed by standard assays. All treatments include vehicle controls and are performed in triplicate.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Female wild-type balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse (4-5 weeks, 18±2g, n=8/group, using histamine or antigen (ovalbumin) to establish allergic conjunctivitis mouse model) [1]
Doses: 0.2mg/mL, 10 µl per eye
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection, once
Experimental Results: Dramatically inhibited conjunctival dye leakage in mice with histamine- or antigen-induced conjunctival vascular hyperpermeability. Reduces inflammatory responses and levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ, and IL-4. Reduces the levels of IgE, GMCSF, NGF and VEGF in mice with antigen-induced conjunctival vascular hyperpermeability.
In vivo, Naphazoline nitrate is typically administered topically as eye drops or nasal spray. For animal studies, the compound is applied topically at various concentrations (e.g., 0.2 mg/kg, 10 μl per eye). Endpoints include vasoconstriction, reduced congestion, and reduced inflammation. For radioprotection studies, the compound is administered to mice before ionizing radiation exposure. All procedures follow institutional guidelines.

  • 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)
