Description:

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

Loratadine is a second-generation histamine H1 receptor antagonist used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. Unlike most classical antihistamines it lacks central nervous system depressing effects such as drowsiness. It has been shown to inhibit the release of leukotriene C4 and histamine from rodent mast cells and to inhibit allergic bronchospasm in guinea pigs. Loratadine is a selective inverse peripheral histamine H1-receptor agonist.

Product Data
Biological target:
Loratadine (SCH-29851) is a selective inverse peripheral histamine H1-receptor agonist with an IC50 of >32 μM.
In vitro activity:
Loratadine inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner the hKv1.5 current, the apparent affinity being 1.2 +/- 0.2 microM. Loratadine, 1 microM, increased the time constant of deactivation of tail currents elicited on return to -40 mV after 500 ms depolarizing pulses to +60 mV from 36.2 +/- 3.4 to 64.9 +/- 3.6 ms (n = 6, P < 0.01), thus inducing a 'crossover' phenomenon. Reference: Cardiovasc Res. 1997 Aug;35(2):341-50. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9349397/
In vivo activity:
Loratadine (5 mg/kg) reduced mortality in S. aureus pulmonary infection model mice and acted synergistically with vancomycin to reduce pulmonary bacterial load and levels of inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Reference: iScience. 2022 Jan 5;25(2):103731. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35098100/
