Levocabastine (R 50547) hydrochloride is a potent and selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist. Levocabastine hydrochloride is also a selective, high affinity neurotensin receptor subtype 2 (NTR2) antagonist, with a K i of 17 nM for mNTR2. Levocabastine hydrochloride can act as a VLA-4 antagonist, interferes with conjunctival eosinophil infiltration in allergic conjunctivitis (AC).

体外研究(In Vitro)
Levocabastine (0-1000 μM; HEK-293 cells) hydrochloride causes inhibition of I-FN binding to the SPA bead-associated α4β1 integrin in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 406.2μm. Levocabastine (0-1000 μM; 30 min; Jurkat cells and EoL-1 cells) hydrochloride inhibits α4β1 integrin/VCAM-1-mediated cell adhesion in vitro. Levocabastine inhibits α4β1 integrindependent adhesion of Jurkat cells to VCAM-1 with an IC50 of 395.6 μM, and the adhesion of EoL-1 cells with an IC50 of 403.6 μM. Moreover, Levocabastine inhibits adhesion of human eosinophils to VCAM-1-coated wells (IC50=443.7 μM). has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Levocabastine (0.05 mg/kg; i.p.; once; male C57BL/6J mice) hydrochloride blocks anti-stress effect ofβ-LT on mouse behavior.
Levocabastine (500 μg/eye; drops eye; once; ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pigs) hydrochloride induces allergic conjunctivitis (AC) and a significant increase of conjunctival VLA-4. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
