More Info
Biological target:
Diphenhydramine hydrochloride is a first-generation histamine H1-receptor antagonist with anti-cholinergic effect.
In vitro activity:
Exogenous histamine did not alter the proliferation or viability of these cells. In contrast, diphenhydramine induced apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner in both cell lines, whereas cimetidine failed to induce significant effects at similar concentrations. Diphenhydramine-induced apoptosis was evaluated in terms of morphology, flow cytometry, and the release of cytochrome c to the cytosol. Reference: Oncol Res. 2004;14(7-8):363-72. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15301427/
In vivo activity:
Results of the study suggest that DPM (diphenhydramine) causes reduction in CE and prevents neuronal degeneration. It also causes reduction in inflammation and oxidative stress in a dose-dependent manner. The level of Bax was found to be elevated, together with reduction in the Bcl-2 level in the DPM-treated rat group.
