Bepotastine is a non-sedating, selective antagonist of histamine 1 (H1) receptor with pIC50 of 5.7.
Target: Histamine H1 receptor [1]
Chemical name: 1-Piperidinebutanoic acid, 4-[(S)-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-pyridinylmethoxy]-, benzenesulfonate (1:1)
Formula: C21H25ClN2O3.C6H6O3S
Molecular weight: 547.06
Purity: 99.86 %
Solubility: 109 mg/mL (DMSO)
Size: 10 mM (1mL in DMSO)
Storage: 3 years -20°C powder, 2 years -80°C in solvent
In vitro:
The flux ratios of [14C]Bepotastine (5 μM) in LLC-GA5-COL150 cells are significantly greater than those in LLC-PK1, showing that the B-to-A flux exceeds those in the other direction in LLC-GA5-COL150 cells. Bepotastine stimulates P-gp-mediated ATP hydrolysis with Km, Vmax, and Vmax/Km values of 1.25 mM, 108 nmol/min/mg protein, and 0.087 mL/min/mg protein, respectively. [2] Bepotastine besilate (100 mM) suppresses Leukotriene B(4) induced Ca(2+) concentration in cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons and cultured neutrophils. [3] Bepotastine (100 μM) dose-dependently inhibits chemotaxis of cultured guinea pig peritoneal eosinophils induced by LTB4. Bepotastine (1 mM) significantly reduces A23187-induced histamine release of cultured rat peritoneal mast cells. [4]
In vivo:
Bepotastine (0.8 mg/kg) administrated in WT and P-gp KO mice results in the plasma total concentrations 580 ng/mL and 467 ng/mL at 6 min after dosing, respectively, and the plasma protein binding with 41.1% and 45.9%. The absorption of [14C]Bepotastine from the proximal region in the presence and absence of verapamil is 63.0% and 72.4%, respectively, and that from the distal region is 10.9% and 62.7%, respectively. [2] Bepotastine besilate (10 mg/kg) inhibits scratching induced by an intradermal injection of histamine (100 nmol/site), but not serotonin (100 nmol/site). Bepotastine besilate (1 mg/kg-10 mg/kg, oral) dose-dependently suppresses scratching induced by substance P (100 nmol/site) and leukotriene B(4) (0.03 nmol/site). [3] Bepotastine besilate significantly inhibits conjunctival vascular hyperpermeability in a dose-dependent manner in guinea pig allergic conjunctivitis models with maximal effect for Bepotastine besilate 1.5%. [4] Bepotastine (3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) effectively inhibits the compound 48/80-induced scratching behavior of BALB/c mice 1 hour after oral administration. Bepotastine (10 mg/kg) also significantly inhibits the scratching behavior and suppresses the serum LTB(4) levels in atopic dermatitis model NC/Nga mice. [5]
