| Targets |
The primary target is the histamine H2 receptor found on gastric parietal cells. By antagonizing this receptor, it blocks the action of histamine, leading to a significant reduction in gastric acid secretion. Additionally, it suppresses inflammatory responses via inhibition of NF-kappaB and p38 MAPK activation. It also inhibits the production of the inflammation and angiogenesis marker VEGF-1.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Roxatidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist that blocks histamine-induced gastric acid secretion. In LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages, it suppresses inflammatory responses via inhibition of NF-kappaB and p38 MAPK activation. It also reduces the production of VEGF-1, a marker for inflammation and angiogenesis. It attenuates the degradation of the extracellular matrix in osteoarthritis models.
|
| ln Vivo |
Roxatidine is clinically used in vivo for the prevention and healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers and bleeding. It is an anti-ulcer drug that can inhibit histamine release (thus inhibiting proton secretion) and inhibit the production of VEGF-1, an important marker of inflammation and angiogenesis. It has anti-allergic inflammatory effects in animal models and attenuates degradation of extracellular matrix in osteoarthritis models.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For a cell-free receptor binding assay, membranes from cells expressing the human histamine H2 receptor are incubated with a radiolabeled H2 antagonist (e.g., [3H]-tiotidine) and increasing concentrations of Roxatidine (0.1 nM to 10 uM) in binding buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5). After incubation at 25degC for 60-90 min, the mixture is filtered, and bound radioactivity is counted. The Ki value for Roxatidine is calculated from competition curves. Typically, these assays are performed in duplicate or triplicate to determine the binding affinity.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular assays, RAW 264.7 macrophages are seeded in 24-well plates and treated with Roxatidine (0.1-100 uM) for 1 hour prior to stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 ug/mL) for 24 hours. The culture supernatant is collected to measure the production of nitric oxide (NO) via the Griess assay and cytokine levels (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6) by ELISA. Cells are also lysed for Western blot analysis of NF-kappaB p65 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation levels. The compound suppresses inflammatory responses via inhibition of these pathways.
|
| Animal Protocol |
A typical in vivo protocol for testing anti-ulcer efficacy uses a rat model of gastric ulcer induced by indomethacin (20 mg/kg, PO) or ethanol. Roxatidine (10-50 mg/kg) is administered orally 30 minutes prior to ulcer induction. Animals are sacrificed 4-6 hours later, the stomachs are excised, and the ulcerated area is measured and scored. Gastric pH is measured to assess acid suppression. The reduction in ulcer index compared to control groups is calculated to determine the protective effect.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Roxatidine (MW: 306.4, Formula: C17H26N2O3) is the active metabolite of the prodrug roxatidine acetate, which undergoes rapid and near-complete (>95%) oral absorption and is converted by esterases in the small intestine, plasma, and liver to its active metabolite, roxatidine. Its pharmacokinetics are characterized by rapid absorption and a plasma half-life suitable for once- or twice-daily dosing in clinical settings. It is soluble in DMSO up to 25 mg/ml.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Roxatidine is a clinically approved drug and has a well-documented safety profile. Common side effects include mild headache, diarrhea, and constipation. It is well-tolerated in clinical use. When used in research, standard precautions for handling pharmaceuticals should be followed. It is not associated with significant acute toxicity in animal models at therapeutic doses. The compound is intended for research use in laboratory settings or as a pharmaceutical reference standard.

| Additional Infomation |
Roxatidine is an organic molecular entity.
Roxatidine acetate hydrochloride (the prodrug) is a marketed anti-ulcer medication in some countries (e.g., Japan, South Korea). It belongs to the class of H2-receptor antagonists and works by reducing gastric acid secretion. Roxatidine (the active metabolite) is used as a research standard to study H2 receptor pharmacology, anti-ulcer mechanisms, and its anti-inflammatory effects. It is not approved in the US but is used in research worldwide. |
