Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Lomerizine dihydrochloride is a antagonist at L-type and T-type Ca 2+ channels and TRp5 channels used to treat migraines and vertigo. It also decreases glutamate excitotoxicity, Ca 2+ overload, and mitochondrial dysfunction and protects against NMDA-induced retinal damage and neurodegenration.

Product Data
Biological target:
Lomerizine dihydrochloride is an antagonist of L- and T-type voltagegated calcium channels.
In vitro activity:
Lom (lomerizine) increased the cytotoxicity of ADM and the apoptosis induced by ADM or VCR in K562/ADM cells. At the concentration of 3, 10 and 30 micromol x L(-1), Lom reduced the IC50 value of ADM from 79.03 micromol x L(-1) to 28.14, 8.16 and 3.16 micromol x L(-1), respectively. Lom increased the intracellular accumulation of ADM and inhibited the efflux of Rh123 in K562/ ADM cells. Reference: Yao Xue Xue Bao. 2004 May;39(5):333-7. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15338873/
In vivo activity:
Lomerizine reduced glutamate excitotoxicity in cultured mouse motor neurons by reducing the accumulation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) and protected motor neurons against multiple measures of mutant SOD1 toxicity: Ca(2+) overload, impaired mitochondrial trafficking, mitochondrial fragmentation, formation of mutant SOD1 inclusions, and loss of viability.
