Description:

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

Lodoxamide is a potent agonist of GPR35 with an EC50 value of 1.61 nM in a β-arrestin-2 interaction assay using CHO-K1 cells expressing the human receptor. It inhibits histamine release induced by compound 48/80 (Item No. 22173), anti-IgE, or A23187 (Item No. 11016) in isolated rat peritoneal mast cells (IC50s = 0.1-50 µM) and inhibits A23187-induced calcium influx in mast cells. It reduces antigen-induced histamine release from rat conjunctival tissue by 46% in vitro when used at a concentration of 10 µg/ml. Lodoxamine (0.1 and 10%, w/v) reduces the immediate hypersensitivity response in rat conjunctiva in vivo in a dose-dependent manner and reduces mast cell degranulation in a topical ovalbumin challenge. Formulations containing lodoxamide have been used in the treatment of vernal conjunctivitis and keratitis.

Product Data
Biological target:
Lodoxamide (U-42585E free acid) is an antiallergic compound acting as a mast-cell stabilizer for the treatment of asthma and allergic conjunctivitis.
In vitro activity:
Lodoxamide was also able to strongly inhibit the release of eosinophil peroxidase after IgA-dependent activation and, to a lesser extent, the release of eosinophil cationic protein and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin. Taken together, these results indicate that lodoxamide can exert potent inhibitory effects on eosinophil activation in vitro combined with a strong inhibition of eosinophil attraction, leading therefore to a reduction in their pathological potential in vivo. Reference: Int Arch Allergy Immunol. 1998 Jun;116(2):140-6. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9652307/
In vivo activity:
This study hypothesized that adding an inhibitor of mast cell degranulation, lodoxamide tromethamine (10 micromol/L), to Euro-Collins and University of Wisconsin preservation solutions, would decrease lung preservation injury in rat lungs. After 12 hours of ischemic storage, lodoxamide tromethamine-enhanced Euro-Collins solution decreased alveolar-arterial oxygen difference from 588 to 485 (p < 0.001), increased oxygen tension from 100 to 161 mm Hg (p = 0.012), decreased capillary filtration coefficient from 6.2 to 2.6 (p < 0.001), and increased compliance from 0.12 to 0.21 (p < 0.001); lodoxamide tromethamine-enhanced University of Wisconsin solution decreased alveolar-arterial oxygen difference from 478 to 322 (p < 0.001), increased oxygen tension from 214 to 335 mm Hg (p < 0.001), decreased capillary filtration constant from 4.2 to 2.0 (p < 0.001), and increased compliance from 0.20 to 0.25 (p < 0.001).
